We have mentioned this technology is coming in the past, and it's coming to fruition quickly. It will just connect directly with your current mobile phone, and you will have service from anywhere. They are doing it for text messages first, then talk, and followed by data.

I'd say in a couple of years' time, we will all be able to watch a Footy Game from the middle of the Simpson Desert.
