The official word from Telstra and the Federal government is that the Next G Network provides equivalent or superior coverage to CDMA. Try telling that to the people of Mangoplah, NSW.
While the news of a three-month delay to the closure of Telstra's CDMA network has been welcomed by many, a number of problems still haunt Next G.
The federal government welcomed Telstra's plans to build a new IP network and roll out third-generation (3G) mobile phone services nationwide but discredited claims it was responsible for any job losses.
Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, hosted a meeting of high-level Telstra executives and industry figures this morning, with the intention of abating concerns over the migration from CDMA to Next G.
Telstra has denied claims a man died of a severe reaction to a bee sting because his mobile phone wouldn't work when he called for help.
Last week, a family friend rang for some technical help. "Telstra sold me this wireless Internet service and they promised it would work both at my home and at my office," he said. Said home is in the Melbourne CBD, and said office is in Kyneton, a lovely town about an hour away from Melbourne.
Will the Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee's report linger as simply yet another ineffectual review guiding limp and ineffectual efforts to improve regional services?
