Next G is simply a marketing term for Telstra's 850MHz UMTS/HSDPA network, in contrast to the 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA network that some other carriers in Australia use. There's nothing really "next" about it, although you could argue otherwise considering Next G will be upgraded from the current 14.4Mbps to 21Mbps sometime this year, followed by a further increase to 42Mbps next year. Coverage may also be pushed beyond the existing 98% (of the population).
