Saliya, how can the guy from Optus stand up in front of a camera and 
say such stupid things about the reasonable use of this 'new' 
technology for remote locations? Seems to me that if there are dead 
spots for mobiles because of lack of towers, there will be dead spots 
for wireless access. Or are they going to pay for high speed 
satellite data streams? Has anyone seen the detail of this 'new' 'plan' (sic)?
