Perth-based iiNet is the third largest ISP in Australia, after the acquisition of OzEmail. This followed a previous major acquisition of New Zealand-based ISP ihug. The company provides dial-up and broadband Internet access, including ADSL2+; web hosting, and VoIP services. iiNet has its own DSLAM access equipment already deployed in over 300 exchanges. iiNet and PowerTel have formed a strategic alliance that in effect provides the pair with the second largest access network in Australia. In November 2007 iiNet was the first telco to introduce a full scale Naked DSL product to the Australian market. An agreement with Pipe Networks in January 2008 gives iiNet international bandwidth capacity on Pipe’s undersea cable from Sydney to Guam. In May 2008 iiNet acquired ISP Westnet.
