Looks like Telstra aren't interested despite all the earlier talk of them trying to get the rights for the device in Aussie and people even saying they were currently even testing one.

Telstra flicked the switch on their Next g (800Mhz WCDMA network) yesterday and enabled speeds of up to 14.4Mbps and 200km range on some cellsites.
Just a shame there no devices available that are capable of more than 7.2Mbps! :-)

Vodafone Group now links up with YouTube and eBay

After the announcement earlier in the week that Vodafone Group have reached a deal with MySpace to offer access to the site from within Vodafone Live! (makes you really wonder if anybody in NZ even knows that's happening in Newbury considering Vodafone NZ just launched their own site) Vodafone have just announced deals with both You Tube and eBay to allow access to the respective sites through the Live! portal.
As to whether we'll see any of this in NZ - who knows? With the current competency in the upper ranks of Vodafone NZ I would highly doubt we'll be seeing anything innovative from a company that used to define the word..

Vodafone suggests its British parent might scale back its investment in New Zealand as the amount of revenue it earns from each customer declines.
Yeah Right!
Vodafone NZ is a cash cow - We all know that.

Campbell Live TV3 tonight - Broadband in NZ

Might be worth watching..
"Why are broadband subscribers still simmering with discontent months after the promised unleashing of the local loop? We examine the complaints, demystify the technology, and ask Telecom if unbundling has left it tangled in knots."

NZ Herald inaccurate reporting yet again!

Jenny Keown has done it yeat again - written a story full of a few facts and then.. FUD
In the story entitled "She's a multi-millionaire and still can't get broadband" it seems that Jenny Gibbs who is worth $30 and lives on Paratai Drive has been trying to get "broadband" for 2 years but can't because the Remuera Exchange is full - even though Telecom said that they only ran out of ports late last year.
It seems that Ms Keown is unaware that Broadband is not a TM of Telecom NZ and that there are other ways of getting "broadband" high speed internet access in Paratai Drive.
How about trying
* Vodafone
* Woosh Wireless
* Wired Country offered by numerous ISP's
I am sure there are other wireless providers who can also provide access - post them as a comment if you want the business! :-)
