Here is an ad from Optus trying to promote the Apple iPhone. It basically details what you can do, with product placement from The Age and with that not-so-catchy "Really Fast" phrase.

It’s not like 3G is slow, it is really fast - depending on your location and carrier.

The hugely popular, and not aired in Victoria yet, show Underbelly has been given another series - after overwhelming demand urged them to create another one. The show, about the Melbourne Gangland War, re-established the network as a serious ratings contender after losing last year to Seven.

The new series will be a prequel to the war, and will detail the rise of power of many of the characters in the original series - but will mainly focus on Alphonse Gangitano, who was portrayed by Vince Colosimo.

CEO David Gyngell was confident that the series will be a smash hit like its predecessor. The series will begin recording in September for 13 episodes. It is also unknown if the series will not be shown in Australia - like its predecessor.
