You and yours on Radio 4 had another piece on Biscit just now.
Netservices' Head of Marketing (Maria Goggin) was quite vague about the nature of their dispute with Biscit, but stated that they were owed money by Biscit and were in turn facing bills from BT, so were left with no other choice.
Next up was the Biscit CEO (Hugh Patterson) who gave a little more detail. The dispute is over "excess bandwidth charges" incurred by V21 before Biscit bought them, back to Dec 05. Biscit have a letter from Netservices CEO from June this year saying they wouldn't invoice for this (presumably requested during the due dilligence prior to the acquisition). They want the MAC codes so they can migrate all their V21 users to the Biscit network.
A Netservices spokesman replied that they couldn't provide 10,000 MAC codes in anything like reasonable timeframes.
It looks to me like Netservices were about to lose 10k users off their network and have pulled this stunt out of sour grapes.
