Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer cracked jokes at a Telstra event today as the telco's live demonstration of 21Mbps speeds on its Next G network came unravelled.
Telstra's BigPond ISP is trying its hand where so many others have struggled -- launching mobile TV over 3G.

Telstra today said it had started selling a laptop mobile broadband card in the ExpressCard form factor suitable for the latest Mac and PC machines.

High-speed mobile broadband has arrived! We compare Telstra's BigPond Wireless Next G service with Vodafone's HSDPA-enhanced 3G network.
