Netspace

Netspace was founded in 1992 by Stuart Marburg and Richard Preen. The company initially offered dial-up internet access, as was the standard at the time. The company's headquarters were located in Camberwell, a suburb in the city of Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, Australia.

Netspace was an earlier adopter of DSL in Australia and quickly focused primarily on offering ADSL-based Internet access. It initially offered Telstra ADSL and then installed its own DSLAMs in some regions, including Tasmania. {{Cite web|url=https://www.itnews.com.au/news/photos-netspace-launches-new-dslams-in-tasmania-151068|title=Photos: Netspace launches new DSLAMs in Tasmania|website=iTnews|access-date=2017-11-09}} The company offered services to retail, SoHo and business customers, including DNS, co-location, web hosting and VoIP, as well as core internet products.

On 29 March 2010, an agreement was entered into which Netspace would be acquired by the larger ASX-listed ISP, iiNet, for AU$40 million.{{cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/technology/iinet-buys-netspace-for-40-million-20100329-r78p.html|title=iiNet buys Netspace for $40 million |date=29 March 2010|access-date=21 March 2019|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald}} The company later retired Netspace as a brand.
