It looks like a lot of farmers will be clambering over roofs and up trees
after April.
THE likelihood of Telstra switching off its regional mobile-phone network in
late April has increased markedly after the release of a plan to fix
problems.
The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, yesterday gave details of
measures Telstra would take to allow the closure of the CDMA network on
April 28. The release of the plan is aimed at reassuring CDMA customers that
they will not be worse off using Telstra's NextG mobile-phone network.
Customers should assume the network will be turned off in just over two
months, although it is still subject to Telstra getting the thumbs up in a
report which will address the minister's concerns.
The main sticking point has been concerns about the coverage of NextG mobile
phone handsets. A report from the Australian Communications and Media
Authority found that six NextG handsets - which it did not identify -
appeared to provide less coverage than CDMA phones.
Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo, refused last week to reveal the
number of customers still using the CDMA network, giving rise to speculation
a significant number still exist. But he did say that the CDMA customers
contributed less than 3 per cent of total mobile revenue of $3.19 billion.
In a letter to the minister, Telstra CountryWide's managing director, Geoff
Booth, said the company had been able to agree to a comprehensive plan to
address his concerns.
Telstra's willingness to accept the Rudd Government's decisions is a
dramatic change from the hardball it played with the Howard Government.
Re: Telstra linesmen ready the tin snips for CDMA network
"Tin snips" sounds just about right. No doubt that's the only piece of
equipment that Tel$cum issue their techs. But i'm not sure what
"linesmen" have to do with CDMA.
Maybe they're going to cut the phone lines in the CDMA system with their
tin snips!
These subs really haven't got a clue, have they?

Telstra's "willingness" is neither here nor there. They don't get a
choice!
trying to find that elusive spot where NextG works? Yep, what we all expected.

Problems? But hang about Parky, you said that there weren't any issues and that
NextG was every bit as good as CDMA back in December.

seeing many of them are (like mine) used on the very occasional foray into
non-GSM territory, that probably means around half a million subs still.

They had no choice, boy.

They had no choice about accepting the decisions of the govt (regardless of
colour), given the changes made to their license conditions.

Or applying the knife to the local telstra staff's balls.

Pig arse it has.

Nope.

And it remains to be seen if anyone is stupid enough to buy that line.

No point in assuming that.

So your claim is a pig ignorant lie.

Thats just Telstra's lie.

And it also found that in some areas the handset wasnt the problem.

And there has to be a reason for that.

Corse they do.

Irrelevant to whether you will be allowed to turn the cdma system off, wogboy.

More mindless pig ignorant journoshit. They didnt with the

No, substantially less than that.
And most of them are non-viable CDMA services with $0 credit which will be
disconnected at the end of the month

Pity that its just a tad hard to tell the ambulance where to go
when you are in the middle of some paddock and have just
knocked down a tree with some bees in it and the medication
you need to save your life happens to be at the pub.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never ever

He was pushing some trees over well away from any roads, in the middle

What a lame excuse. CIC is really about information you have from *others* that
you are bound not to reveal because you obtained it under privelege. Tel$tra's
own data on the number of CDMA subs isn't in that category.
Tel$tra have that information, it is *their* information, they can reveal it any
time they like. They are only serving their own lame NextG transition arguments
by not revealing the huge size of the residual CDMA fleet, figuring that
revealing the truth would torpedo their arguments that CDMA users are flocking
to NextG.

And clearly in appointing the mex and his amigos, the board didn't ask them if

I doubt he's quite that bad, but he clearly has never tried to tell someone
like 000 where he is in someones paddock well away from the road etc.
All you can ever do is say its fred's place etc, and thats not normally
any use to anyone except those down the pub or your mate etc.

And you have just shown that you dont have a clue about what telstra can do with
that info any time they like, just like they can with the numbers now using NextG too.

But when they do with the numbers using the NextG system, and dont with
the number who havent bothered to change to the NextG system for whatever
reason, only a fool would be stupid enough to buy the lie that they cant say
how many are still on the cdma system because that info is CIC, fuckwit.
