Of course we're not currently discussing it previously. That doesn't
even make sense.

However, you ignored it previously and will no doubt ignore it now as
well.

You lie - again. May as well start with the Hansard entry.

And this time, unlike last time, don't ignore the most important quoted
words: "their coverage footprint will remain."

Hansard for ECITA 46, 13th Feb. 2006:

Senator Coonan. "We know what consumers want here: they want to be able
to continue to have a good coverage and to be able to have at least as
good a service as they get with CDMA. We know what consumers want. This
is a very technical inquiry group that we have convened here to make
sure that these issues can be sorted out in the long-term interests of
consumers."

Senator CONROY. "As it stands we are basically being told by Telstra,
'Trust us; we'll deliver what we.re telling you,' even though it
actually has not been done anywhere else in the world."

Senator Coonan. "I do not think Telstra is saying, 'Trust us'. What
Telstra is saying is, 'We will work with you, the department, and we
will work with you, the regulator, to make sure that service standards
are at least equivalent to CDMA and to make sure that the services to
consumers are not interrupted.'"

Mr Jennings. "I will address two aspects of that. First, the network.
Because they would largely be using CDMA now, their coverage footprint
will remain. That is a given."

(Mr Max Jennings, General Manager, Wireless Access Services, Telstra)
