FAUC (Future AUstralian Carrier) Interest Group

A lot of Aus­tralian are unim­pressed with the offer­ings of three tel­cos offer­ing iPhones in Aus­tralia. All the plans are heavy on tele­phony and light on mobile data. The excep­tion are the Optus who are offer­ing low tele­phony, mod­er­ate data plans. For $39 a month you get 500Mb of data + $34 worth of calls, but to get a 1Gb you need to pay $99 a month. On the other hand for $39 a month you get 5Gb from Optus on their mobile data plan.

So Brian Ballsun-Stanton and Mark Pesce have cre­ated FAUC (Future AUs­tralian Car­rier) Interest Group on Face­book, with the aim of gath­er­ing a group of sup­port­ers for a new mobile car­rier in Aus­tralia. A Co-Op, run by the users and for the users, which is designed to offer data pri­cing plans that reflect real net­work charges.

So what are you wait­ing for, go sign up now.
