Apple 3G iPhone War Breaks Out Lawyers Called In

By Branko Miletic & David Richards | Thursday | 2008-06-12
An Apple 3G iPhone war has broken out between the world's fastest 3G network
run by Telstra and Optus who this week won a deal to sell the new Apple
iPhone. At the core of the argument is the fact that consumers who buy the
new 3G iPhone will not get the "best of" the new 3G iPhone on the Optus
network that according to Telstra runs at up to half the speed of the
Telstra network.

They also claim that 3G iPhone owners will not be able to take advantage of
"blisteringly fast 3G speeds when Telstra crank up their network to 42Mbps
by the end of this year.

According to a statement from a Telstra spokesperson, 'Just this week the
Singtel Optus' CEO was claiming a new mobile would operate on its proposed
3G network but failed to mention it was on the wrong frequency. It's like
someone claiming they can get cable TV without a cable.'

This new mobile is the iPhone of course and a number of Telstra
representatives have mentioned to channelnews that they are not sure how the
iPhone could even work on the Optus network and that it is directly
compatible with Telstra's 850MHz NextG network.

The Optus statement that got up Telstra's nose was from Optus chief
executive Paul O'Sullivan and included the following: "With Optus, more
iPhone users can enjoy 3G services as we expand our network to 96 per cent
of the population by December 2008 and 98 per cent by December 2009".

'It's important that consumers understand when they are choosing their
mobiles that some of these new phones simply won't work properly on other
frequencies like 900?', shot back a Telstra spokesman.

Moreover, according to Telstra's lawyers: "Telstra is concerned that Optus
may represent to customers that they can enjoy a range of 3G features and
services with Optus using a 3G device and that they will be able to access
those services in more places as Optus expands its network,"

A lot of new devices are now supporting 850 and 2100 frequencies as many
carriers around the world follow in Telstras footsteps after the launch of
the Next G network?, according to a Telstra representative, adding that ?Not
all 3G networks were created equal.

"Telstra is the market leader in mobiles and we aim to stay that way, so
while not commenting on iPhone or our plans specifically, watch this space."

So it looks like its all getting nasty over in telco land, however, it is
all grist for the mill for Apple as it gets more publicity for its iPhone
and at the end of the day, most analysts agree that Telstra will eventually
sell the product - frequencies not withstanding and whether Optus and
Vodafone like it or not.

Its important that consumers understand that Telstra
lost the contract to supply the iphone to Optarse.

Optarse hasnt done that, ****wit.

Bare faced lie, and its got absolutely NOTHING to do with Telstra.

Yep, some are duds like Telstra's which many new phones cant use.

It never was, and never ever will be either.

No thanks.

Nope, just the usual desperate attempt at spoiling tactics from Telstra.

And Optarse in spades.

So Parky bot, Tel$tra did dip out on selling the iPhone?

my understanding is ....

IPhone uses 2100MHz and 850MHz, where 850MHz is used for longer range
comms.

But Voda anf Optus have 2100MHz and 900MHz.....

Hence use of the IPhone on Voda and Optus in the country areas might be a
problem.

And only do 3G on 900MHz in the non capital city areas.

No might be about it.

Gota hand it to Telstra, when there is that fundamental advantage for them,
the useless ****wits blow their feet right off on the iPhone launch in this country.
