Research Report

iiNet Limited

Synopsis iiNet was established in 1993 and listed on the ASX in 1999, growing from a small Perth business into the third largest Internet Service Provider in Australia at which time the company provided 750,000 broadband, telephony and dialup services nationwide. As part of iiNet's goal to lead the market with the best Internet access products the company acquired Victorian-based Netspace for $40 million in March 2010. The company already had its own high-speed ADSL2+ network reaching around four million households across Australia, and has the largest VoIP network in the country. The purchase cemented iiNets position as Australias third largest fixed-line retail broadband provider with 520,000 DSL connections. That places it just ahead of Soul-TPG (442,000) and behind tier-one telcos Optus (980,000) and Telstra (2.24 million). The move seals the company's Naked DSL offering, which was recognised by PC User Magazine as the 2009 Product of the Year.
