3 Mobile customers will enjoy expanded access to 3G network services, provided they own a compatible handset.
Telstra chief executive Sol Trujillo today said price cuts by competitors on third-generation mobile services were irrelevant to his company.
Telstra has withdrawn its appeal against a Court ruling which found that it engaged in "misleading" and "illegal" conduct in its Next G advertising, following a decision by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) which disputed claims about the coverage of the 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.
While the relative merits of Next G vs CDMA as a mobile phone network will forever remain in question, no one seems to be arguing that Next G is winning out when it comes to data.
Tevye, the much loved protagonist of Fiddler on the Roof, was full of wisdom. "A bird may love a fish," he memorably said, "but where would they build a home together?"
It has been a busy year in telecoms, whether because of the increasingly bitter relationship between Telstra and the government; the awarding of the contentious but (finally) progressive broadband contract to OPEL; the pivotal election that led to a change of government; or the move of 3G mobile technology into the mainstream at last.

Coinciding with Telstra's launch of Next G, an HSPDA-enabled 3G network in Australia that operates in the 850MHz space, is the release of six new mobile handsets
Here's a dollop of irony: the best Windows Mobile smartphone has been created by Palm! A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make it the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
