Apple + Unwired?

AppleInsider has a story on an Apple Australia package in the AU store which supposedly is a wireless bundle with Unwired. Unwired is the wireless ISP offering the uConnect free wifi service across Sydney. Unwired is also one of the slowest ways to connect wirelessly, and only available in metro areas. I wonder why Apple would team up with them?

Unwired would also be in the process of rolling out Wimax on a national network. Will we see the introduction of a new Airport range and a national Wimax service?

Additionally, Unwired is owned (partially?) by the Seven tv network, which also owns the Australian rights for Tivo distribution. A fast national wireless network might help the rollout of new Tivo services.
