Spin, which launched free mobile broadband in Canberra in November has announced a deal to offer free broadband downloads on the Gold Coast. Spin launched its Canberra deal about three weeks ago and true to its word is rolling out the offer to other cities. The next lucky recipient is the Gold Coast which will now get free iBurst broadband thanks to. Spin. As with the Canberra deal, Spin Internet offers 200Mb of free data per month on their iBurst subscriptions. The Gold Coast was one of iBurst's first deployments and users there can connect at up to 1Mbps. Subscribers need to buy an iBurst modem and pay a pretty hefty set-up fee, but after that, so long as they stay under the 200Mb data limit that's all they will ever pay. Go over the limit and they'll be charged as 22 cents per MB. It is going to cost you A$259.95 plus a A$10 delivery fee for the USB modem and A$149.95 for the set up fee. Spin reserves the right to withdraw the free download/upload offer at any time. www.spin.net.au/freeoffer Related news items Telstra Wireless Hits Speed Record -24/09/2007 Vodafone HSDPA Stretches To Brisbane -05/07/2007 New ToughBook Hitting The Streets -25/02/2007 China Heading Straight For 4G? -29/01/2007 Symbol Builds A Bridge Between RFID and WLAN -07/12/2006 Newer news items Vodafone Subsidises Data Hardware -31/03/2007 Ericsson Promises 1Mbps GSM Upgrade -14/03/2007 No 3G For Santa Rosa -18/02/2007 Broadcom Could Benefit From Bluetooth Case -04/01/2007 Intel Demo's Mobile WiMAX Chip -07/12/2006 Older news items ACMA Hunts For Useful Spectrum -05/12/2006 Municipal Wi-Fi Planned For Sydney -29/11/2006 Wireless Broadband Extended On Darling Downs -26/11/2006 Canberra Gets Free Mobile Broadband -16/11/2006 Get Your Own GSM Cell For Home -15/11/2006 Tag This Now:
