I've been keeping an eye out for this. This should really impress some of
their corporate clients who work in Melbourne CBD. At the moment you can
make a call from Flagstaff-Museum but only because the tunnel is straight.
Otherwise, the coverage only lasts a few hundred meters from the station.

Hopefully they'll also improve their coverage in some skyscrapers. I was in
Nauru House and there was no coverage on Optus once you got a fair distance
off the ground. However, MC Tower, Rialto, 101C, 120C are covered. Anyone
work in other towers care to comment?

Do you mean the ground floor the of *Telstra* building on the corner of
Lonsdale and Exhibition street was great for *Optus* coverage? (-:

A GSM transmitter directly south of the Sleeps Hill tunnel entrance
would fix the biggest dead spot on the TransAdelaide network.
