Vodafone has picked Ericsson for its 3G network upgrade across rural and regional Australia, with future upgrades that could take the network to 28.8Mbps already on the cards.
Vodafone Australia has blamed Swedish vendor Ericsson for delays to the roll-out of its national 3G mobile network.
Ericsson Australia has confirmed it let go of around 10 staff last week, but the industry is abuzz with speculation that hundreds more may follow as its biggest customer, Telstra, announced a $1 billion cut back in capital expenditure for the coming financial year.
Vodafone today said it would hit its deadline of turning on 3G mobile services in regional areas by the first week of May.
Vodafone today announced its third-generation (3G) network would be commercially launched in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra this October with other capital cities to follow in 2006.
Telstra's New Zealand arm TelstraClear is one strange company ...

May fever has hit New Zealand's mobile carriers. Telecom New Zealand and Vodafone both have big initiatives under way ... and is that three? NZ Communications (formerly Econet) kicks off a third competitive network to give the big guns nightmares.
Telecom New Zealand yesterday launched its new XT 3G mobile network at a ritzy event in Auckland. But the network hasn't gone live yet, which is likely due to new hardware being installed to curb interference that is causing rival Vodafone a headache.
Last year I opined that, even if Telstra did launch Apple's iPhone 3G, conflicting goals meant it couldn't afford to seriously back the product. This year, Telstra proved me right, and the reason is simple: Australia's biggest telco just wants to be a Mac.
2008 was a cracker year for telco in Australia, with so many huge events happening that those at the beginning of the year have been drowned by the importance of those at the end.
