TPG Telecom

Synopsis TPG Telecom is a provider of IP telecommunications and multimedia services in the Australian marketplace. Services including voice, Internet and data solutions are provided to a customer base ranging from the consumer market through to the SME, corporate and government sectors. The company has the largest data network and voice network after Telstra, the largest fully converged voice, video and data IP-based access network in regional Australia and the largest voice-enabled IP network. IPTV is included with ADSL2 packages and available at most TPG exchanges throughout Australia. The IPTV trials are looking at a pay TV-type model based on content for niche markets. In early 2008 Soul formally acquired ISP TPG. However, who really was in charge became clear when the company name was changed in December 2009 to TPG Telecom Limited. In addition Soul formerly acquired ISP Chariot in mid-2008. During 2009/10 the company is enabling over 60 new exchanges with the main expansion area being in Western Australia. In late 2009 it launched a merger with dark fibre and submarine cable operator Pipe Networks.
