Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / October 2007Government Told Telstra CDMA Network Will Be Closed Down
From http://www.smarthousenews.com.au/Communication/Industry?Article=/Communication/I ndustry/A7F4W9X2 Telstra has flung a new challenge to the Howard Government - now in caretaker mode - declaring its Next G network has now achieved the same or better coverage as the CDMA network - and stating it is "on track" to close the CDMA network on January 28. But the Big T faces the obstacle of a condition imposed on its CDMA licence by Attorney-General Philip Ruddock which prevent a switch-off before the Government is satisfied with Next G coverage. The Government is relying not on Telstra's word, but on an independent survey by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to determine if Next G coverage meets CDMA levels. Telstra yesterday declared extensive testing conducted by its own teams with strategic partner Ericsson had already shown the Next G network is "bigger, better and faster than CDMA... > From > http://www.smarthousenews.com.au/Communication/Industry?Article=/Communication/I ndustry/A7F4W9X2 > Telstra has flung a new challenge to the Howard Government Nope, just shot is feet completely off, again. > - now in caretaker mode - declaring its Next G network has now achieved the same or better coverage as the CDMA > network - Easy to claim, hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim. > and stating it is "on track" to close the CDMA network on January 28.

Of course not! But the profits are bigger, better and flowing in faster than CDMA - so who cares? >> Telstra yesterday declared extensive testing conducted by its own >> teams with strategic partner Ericsson had already shown the Next G >> network is "bigger, better and faster than CDMA... > >But does it cover all of the footprint currently provided by CDMA? That's a trick question. With the "robbing" of CDMA coverage (via bandwidth) Tel$tra have downgraded CDMA in a number of areas to the point where 3G just might match CDMA_NOW >>> Telstra yesterday declared extensive testing conducted by its own >>> teams with strategic partner Ericsson had already shown the Next G [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Tel$tra have downgraded CDMA in a number of areas to the point where 3G just > might match CDMA_NOW That's ribbish, I'm sick of hearing it. Next-G coverage matches CDMA, it's only the crappy Next G handsets which are impeding coverage. For Telstra to shutdown CDMA they need to make sure they can supply reasonable C-grade handsets to consumers. That's all that is hindering the closure of CDMA. > For Telstra to shutdown CDMA they need to make sure they can supply > reasonable C-grade handsets to consumers. That's all that is hindering > the closure of CDMA. The real problem is that they force the crappy handsets down your throat (LG, ZTE etc) and make it hard (and expensive) to get the good handsets like the Motorola V6 MAXX and the Motorola V3xx and whatever that Nokia one is. >> For Telstra to shutdown CDMA they need to make sure they can supply >> reasonable C-grade handsets to consumers.

The fact that you need one handset to test coverage.

Nope, in the same fashion that CDMA never covered every square inch that AMPS did, and that GSM never covered every square inch that AMPS did > PD >>> Telstra yesterday declared extensive testing conducted by its own >>> teams with strategic partner Ericsson had already shown the Next G [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > that AMPS did, and that GSM never covered every square inch that AMPS > did Pity that telstra never claimed those would, but did claim that NextG would.

In other words, the profits are bigger and better and flowing in faster than they did with CDMA. |
