Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy has hinted that Telstra could be given the formal go ahead to close its CDMA network on 28 April, after Telstra confirmed its plan to address the government's criticisms over the replacement Next G network.
With the planned switch-off date for Telstra's CDMA network just weeks away, a crucial report into the replacement Next G network that could stymie the closure has suffered delays.
Telstra claims its controversial Next G network is now officially better than its soon-to-be-defunct CDMA equivalent, after the telco sent a team to audit network coverage. Now government testers are hot on their heels.
Communications Minister Senator Helen Coonan has again warned that Telstra must not jeopardise CDMA coverage to customers in regional and rural areas as the telco prepares to switch off the network in favour of its third generation mobile network.
update Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy has ruled Telstra cannot close its CDMA network until at least 28 April, 2008.
