What I know is that Telecom has a deal with Noel Leeming to introduce a 4GB Notebook Mobile Broadband bundle (also a 2GB Notebook plan available). Perhaps that's what you are thinking?

I heard Telecom NZ already includes Windows 7 when testing software, and has -

Sierra Wireless WCDMA datacard W7 s/ware now
Telecom branded (aka ZTE) WCDMA datacards W7 s/ware now

Sierra Wireless CDMA datacards W7 s/ware soon

With that might come a wave of Linux support. Or not. Hmm.
