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.
