12 February 2015

iiNet has today announced its partnership with the AllSeen Alliance which will see the Internet Service Provider play a role in influencing the customer experience in an increasingly connected world.

The AllSeen Alliance will work to advance the adoption and innovation of the “Internet of Everything” in homes and across the industry.

iiNet’s General Manager Corporate Strategy Brett Hutchison said that being the first Australian ISP to join the Alliance further demonstrates the ISP’s commitment to innovation and customer experience.

“The Internet continues to provide a platform for innovation and we’re seeing more and more evidence of a connected future,” said Brett.

“We’re looking forward to collaborating with a group of like-minded companies to ensure the transition to a smart world is a positive experience for consumers. We’ll throw our full support behind the work of the AllSeen Alliance as we continue to keep our finger on the pulse of developments in this space.”

As a member of the AllSeen Alliance, iiNet will have the opportunity to work alongside fellow members including Microsoft, LG, Panasonic, Sony and Sharp.
