| iHug eyes iiNet 
| 
| According to media reports, New Zealand-based iHug is talking with
| Perth-based iiNet about the prospects for a merger.
| 
| iiNet services approximately 130,000 customers (including dial-up and
| broadband), placing it among the top five Australian ISPs. iiNet is
| also one of the largest ADSL resellers. iHug has at least 150,000
| customers, making it the third-biggest ISP in New Zealand. Less than
| half of iHug's customers are Australian. Both iiNet and iHug are
| publicly traded companies.

iiborg about to be assimilated?
