3 people in rapid succession reported that DingoBlue who do telecomms and internet services around Australia (and are a popular ISP for OCAU readers) has been bought for AUD$22M by AGL, the gas and electricity provider (who apparently are interested in the telecomms market too). All 3 people named Optus employees as their source (but are not optus employees themselves) and wanted to remain nameless. The rumour continues that the unlimited dialup will continue but an 8-hour hard limit will be enforced (presumably disconnect/redial will be fine). More interestingly, they (apparently) won't be reselling Optus anymore, and the internet services won't be on Optus's backbone, so it's possible the speed may be affected.
I have no official word on this, so grab a grain of salt on your way through..
UPDATE:
HDM sent word that there is now a press release on AGL's site with info about the acquisition.
