ipstar turmoil, page-7

The mass disconnection is the latest event in a bad year for IPStar. One year ago IPStar appointed the small listed Australian company ETT as its mainline wholesale channel—ETT’s relationship with IPstar broke down and ended with court action and contract termination about two months ago. The very public breakdown was a rare glimpse into the Byzantine world of IPStar’s complex service provider relationships– for example LiSP itself was apparently wholesaling to other service providers this year. One person close to the company told CommsDay “as to who was wholesaling to who, no one seems really sure! It’s all such a mess these days!”
