Telstra is partnering with selected dealers to offer a $0 upfront laptop promotion to meet growing customer demand for mobile broadband on the Next G? network.
Executive Director Telstra Business, Cathy Aston, says laptops with Next G?mobile broadband cards are fast becoming the "must have" business accessory for 2008.
"Since Telstra switched on the Next G? network in 2005 more people are taking their work with them wherever they go - it's estimated more than three million Australians are now mobile workers," Ms Aston said.
"Building on the success of the $0 upfront mobile phone offers that really took off in the 90s, we've decided the time is right to extend the same deal to mobile broadband.
"Increasingly, mobile broadband-enabled laptops are as essential as mobiles, especially for business people. They're easy to take to many places, you can even go away for a few days, take your laptop and stay connected to the business," Ms Aston said.
The Telstra Next G? laptop promotion includes a laptop for $0 upfront (to the value of $700), an easy to use Telstra Turbo 3 Series device that plugs straight into a laptop and a 1GB data allowance per month for just $99 per month for 36 months, allowing customers to browse the web, check email and download documents.
