EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

Fresh from winning support of the last Pacific Internet shareholders following the 2007 hostile takeover, seems Pacnet is again keen to the acquisition trail.

The company is said to have eyes for one of up to seven firms - mostly smaller wholesale players or inter-city network operators - and AAPT is on that list.

Chief executive Bill Barney also puts forward his thoughts on the NBN. Have a read and let us know whether or not you agree.
