Hello Stephen -

Thank you for your reply.

This actually falls into a "grey" area.

Are you leasing the Optus servers?  Are Optus paying Alphawest to 
manage the software for them?

Is Alpahwest still listed as a legal company? - ie does it still 
operate a separate set of accounts and separate tax return.   From a 
search on the ASIC web site it does appear to.

The actual ownership of the company is not an issue - the license is 
issued to a specific company for use by that company.  Therefore the 
Optus license can be used by Optus only.

If Alphawest want to use the software and they are a separate legal 
entity then AlphaWest would need to purchase their own license.

Is there someone at Optus who can corroborate your position?

Hope this helps clarify and let me know the information asked above.

Regards

Joanne
