I'm pleased that finally Seven are starting to use the Unwired bandwidth
for something.
And of course this will justify the build-out of infrastructure that is

Well done Kerry Stokes.

I can already hear the gnashing of teeth from the big T.

Smile Australia, we finally have some Telecommunications competition.
(OK will have soon.)
