Interesting that the US company tried to influence the ACCC decision. Or at least that is how I read this:
Mr Samuel says the company has been cooperative during the process.
"We had visitors from the Unites States come out to meet with several of our officers and one of our commissioners to talk this matter through," he said.
"But I think they realised that we caught them out, that these bands were nothing like what they were being claimed to be.
