Unstrung notes that Unwired Australia is buiding a wireless network in Melbourne starting today. The company's Sydney network was launched in 2004, and boasted more than 36,000 customers by the end of last year.

"Our research shows there is significant pent-up demand for our service in Melbourne," says Unwired CEO David Spence. "Not only from customers wanting a fast, flexible and portable broadband service, but also businesses who want the ability to roam between Sydney and Melbourne."

Catallaxy points out that the rollout will unfortunately be done using current Navini technology, not WiMAX -- which doesn't seem like the smartest move on Unwired's part.
