NBN will bring strong market opportunities for iiNet

The Australian Internet Service Provider iiNet has said that it is well positioned for the NBN rollout and that it will bring fresh opportunities for the ISP.

The Australian Internet Service Provider iiNet has said that it is enthusiastic about the National Broadband Network, and has added that the network will bring fresh opportunities for the company. According to Michael Malone, the managing director of iiNet, the ISP will be one of only a handful to benefit. This came after the release of the NBN Co business plan, when iiNet outlined its own approach to the NBN.

Malone stated: “Perhaps half of the premises in Australia have been denied access to true broadband competition, but the NBN changes all that. Not only do we double the available market for our services, but the proposed NBN pricing looks attractive for both iiNet and our customers.”

Figures were recently released by iiNet showing that it was one of only a few Internet Service Providers that had continued to increase its customer base. During the second half of last year the ISP saw its broadband customer numbers increase by around seven thousand. The company said that the four largest providers now account for eighty three percent of fixed line broadband accounts in Australia.

Malone added: “We have been preparing for this growing maturity in the broadband market by building scale and diversifying into fresh territory, like Fetch TV, mobile voice, Netphone, and a new suite of innovative consumer products from our iiNet Labs, to ensure our long term growth. As a big player at the forefront of product innovation and customer service, iiNet is best placed to reap the benefits of the NBN world.”
