In late 2006, Telstra switched on their powerful Next G, 3G phone and data network. Catching almost everyone by surprise, this new mobile network had 98% population coverage. For "mobile professionals" such as me, This fundamentally changed the way that I worked, lived and play.

I now carry a lightweight Toshiba notebook computer like most people carry mobile phones, giving me instant access to the massive knowledge, power and "connectedness" of the World Wide Web, eMail.

This flexibility allows me to integrate lifestyle and work, whether sailing, at friends, in offices, airports, or travelling to distant places. Its a great asset to my life ... and no other network comes even remotely close for coverage. Thank you Telstra.

Stay connected to the world while on your holiday in Australia. Using the Telstra Next G modem, you can stay in touch, watch the market, research your next holiday destination, update your "myspace" or MSN with friends. Telstra Next G broadband wireless offers "fast as home" Internet connection throught the Next G phone network covering an amazing 98% of the Australian population.

It even works in selected places while sailing around the Whitsundays.
