The story I read said that the problem is with mobile devices, which may or may not have meant 3g/4g. I'm wondering now if it just appears that way because of the proliferation of iPhone/iPads using whatever network is at hand, which could easily be a wifi connection via Telstra, and therefore onto the backhaul they use?
