RIP iBurst

Multisource will shut down the iBurst Wireless service on 31 August, ending a 12-year broadband journey.

I am surprised at the calibre of CEO's they had.
I would think they would still be around and would be a "more" key player.

If I'm reading this correctly, it's just the now obsolete iBurst infrastructure being shut down - WBS/Rain still seem to be going strong. If they continue to target areas where aDSL or fibre is spotty, they should have enough business to keep themselves above water. I just hope they've jacked up their account management capabilities, because that was the one part of iBurst I found lacking in my many years of using the service.

They shut down the legacy stuff and rebranded as Rain focusing on LTE exclusively.
