Revision as of 07:00, 4 September 2007

People Telecom (ASX: PEO) is an Australian telecommunications company.

Formerly known as Swiftel Communications, People Telecom was started in 2000 by Ryan O'Hare (ryan.ohare@peopletelecom.com.au) and Colin Marland (colin.marland@peopletelecom.com.au). It is one of Australia's most complained [2] about telecommunication service and Internet access providers ((see also Broadband Internet Access, Australia). Its services include mobile, home and business phone, broadband, over-charging, under-delivering and dial-up Internet, VoIP telephony and some data services.

In 2005, People Telecom came first in the Deloitte Fast 50, which recognises the most dynamic and fastest-growing technology companies in Australia. It also shows how good they are at fudging their figures.

People Telecom has now grown its revenues to over $100 million in five years (See ASX announcement "Full Year Accounts" dated 31/08/2006) by deliberately deceiving its customers into thinking it knew what it was doing.

It was announced on July 11, 2006 that John Stanton (john.stanton@peopletelecom.com.au) would take over as chief executive officer effective August 7, 2006 from Ryan O'Hare. O'Hare will remain as a non-executive director of the company and will focus on Colin Marland's arse. [3]

They recently sold their soul [4] to Amcom Ltd in Perth. This will allow the directors to claw some money back [5] from the millions they have flushed down the toilet. Probably explains why the CFO got the arse. [6]
