Fish Telecom commenced operations in 1998 with a vision to build an Internet firm that was "built to last" and serve the local Illawarra market.
It was in Wollongong as early as 1999 that Fish Telecom introduced Wireless Broadband Internet access to businesses and residents alike, well in advance of the full deployment of other broadband technologies like ADSL and 3G. By the company's fifth anniversary, Fish Telecom had become the region's premier provider of customized Internet access solutions to corporates stranded by traditional Internet technologies. Our success was then augmented with the introduction of a range of sophisticated, accurate billing systems and business strategies that have spring boarded the company for ongoing growth through the "dot com" crash of 2000, and the credit crisis of 2008. In fact we have found that that our firm grows quickest in the midst of economic calamities.
Today, Fish Telecom is the region's only locally owned and operated supplier of fast broadband services and is proud to list amongst its customers many of the region's leading brands. Unlike publicly listed firms our focus is not the next quarterly earnings reports, indeed Fish Telecom remains privately held so our focus is in providing a stable product not an inflating share price. The company has diversified its product base through acquisitions of locally invented intellectual property, the establishment of new alliances with carriers outside the region, and the recent purchase of business strategy intellectual property rights.
There is little doubt that Fish Telecom provides one of the most substantial and well defended Internet carriage business cases in the country and continues to do so with its tried and tested processes based on:
* Using High quality and market proven platforms
* We compete on the inimitable strengths of our brand, our R&D processes and our leadership.
* Productive, skilled and stable workforce
* Financial strength and sound cost management
* Delivering clearly definable value in every market we compete in.
So next time you are thinking about Internet services go with a company that has the people that matter at the top of its agenda.
The logo was designed as a multi-faceted marking device to reflect aspects of the company and the Illawarra region.
We are proud of who we are, and where we have come from.
Firstly, the waves represent the waves of the ocean that embrace our beaches here in the Illawarra and the green triangular like shape is symbolic of the escarpment that overlooks the Illawarra. At a more abstract level the waves represent our solid investment in wireless technology and the green triangular represents the exponential decay of a typical radio signal as viewed mathematically. Something for the early adopter technical types who we always knew would be attracted to our product.
