Dunno about the other states, but there must be 100k/month worth of 
billboard and bus stop advertising splattered around Brisbane alone. They 
stated they were planning on 50,000 customers by the end of this year 
(anyone know the figures now?). You'd want to hope at least *some* of 
those customers are actually paying for the service, or they'll never be 
able to afford to that much anticipated in-house mail server.  :)
