Devnet is partnering with Netregistry, Australia's leading domain name provider to bring Google Apps to Australia. The Google Apps suite includes local domain name integration, business email solutions, collaborative calendars, and corporate instant messaging.

Larry Bloch, CEO of NetRegistry said "NetRegistry had full confidence in securing the necessary equity sufficient for a fully funded offer of $1.75. What we lacked was support by WebCentral's Board. Our view was that the support of the WebCentral Board was the pivotal condition remaining for our proposal." "I believe our proposal is significantly better for WebCentral shareholders. At $1.75 cash WebCentral shareholders would have a better deal. However, without the WebCentral Board clearly indicating their support for a bid at that price, we simply ran out of time", said Bloch. NetRegistry has 10 years experience of hosting, unlike MelbourneI T who has just two years. We have our own dedicated, Australian based infrastructure compared to Melbourne IT's outsourcing arrangement with a US based hosting provider. NetRegistry is the third hosting business founded by Larry Bloch - the first of which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and the second was sold to another UK listed plc. verity.meagher@netregistry.com.au (Verity Meagher) Wed, 23 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +1000 http://www.netregistry.com.au/news/articles/95/1/NetRegistry-takes-title-of-No-1-provider-of-Australian-domain-names/Page1.html NetRegistry registered 30% of all .com.au registrations in May, overtaking MelbourneIT whose 100% monopoly of this market has dropped to below 20% in less than 4 years. news@netregistry.com.au (NetRegistry News) Wed, 07 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +1000
