Could reduce ongoing exposure to overage costs.
Aussie Broadband is hoping that a ‘white label’ arrangement launched last week could help the company offset the growing bandwidth demands of its own customer base, reducing some of its exposure to excess fees charged by NBN Co.
The ASX-listed retail service provider said last week that it would ‘white label’ both its connectivity and customer support services, which smaller retailers could brand as their own internet service offerings.
Aussie Broadband already has one “retailer” signed on - widely suspected to be an energy company - and more arrangements under negotiation.
Aussie Broadband is making moves out west with plans to open a new call centre and business office in central Perth as it rolls out a new dark fibre network in WA.
A statement from the company said the new office is expected to bring 160 new jobs to the area, including customer support roles, management, HR and warehouse positions.
Managing director Phillip Britt said the company was ramping up to start operations in July.
“We’re very excited to be opening an office in Perth, where we’ve always had strong support from customers. Perth has a wealth of tech talent and we’ve got a number of positions that we’re looking to fill. For Aussie, this is a great culture fit because Perth people are laid back, friendly and enjoy a good belly laugh.”
