The OP is spam for a very expensive device, upwards from about $1000AUD.
There are much cheaper ways of hooking into the NextG service. The only mobile broadband internet service provider on the NextG network in Australia is BigPond, an offshoot of Telstra, the main telco. As such, Bigpond is screwing the market for all it can get. I am on a middle of the road plan: 12 month contract, unlimitted connect time, 1 Gigabyte data per month, $85AUD a month. Outrageous! However, the service works. My experience is just about 100% coverage on the east coast of Australia, at good speeds, and also good coverage when travelling by car inland. With an external antenna, I'm sometimes able to pick up coverage 5-8 miles offshore of major ports. This post was written at anchor, some 10-12 miles offshore/away from Gladstone,QLD. Beats marina based wifi handsdown. It makes it entirely feasible to run my business affairs without being marina bound.
