"The sale of our Perth corporate data business to Amcom will generate stronger operating margins and increased market share within our core customer segments."

"Amcom and People Telecom already enjoy a strong commercial relationship and we see opportunities to further build on this in the future through bilateral supply arrangements and other cooperation."

Stanton said the two companies will work together over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition of corporate customers onto the Amcom network, and to manage the relocation of its national network operating center from Perth to Sydney.
