Telstra bringin iPhone 3G to Vodafone-averse Aussies

From
http://www.intomobile.com/2008/07/01...e-aussies.html

Competition is a good thing. It not only offers consumers the freedom to
choose whatever service or product fits their needs, but it also sets the
stage for price-wars in the on-going battle between companies to capture as
much market share as possible. In the end, consumers win - more service
options, better prices, tasty freedom.

To that end, Telstra has just enlisted itself as the most recent iPhone 3G
carrier to hop on board the iPhone-wagon. Following on previous statements
by a Telstra exec that the iPhone 3G would be capable of currently
unimaginable data speeds (which all but confirmed previous rumors that
Telstra was going to pick up the iPhone 3G), the Australian wireless carrier
has officially thrown their hat in to the ring. With Vodafone already
claiming its stake in the Australian iPhone market, Telstra will be going at
it to win as many Aussie-hearts as they can.

Much like China Mobile and China Unicom, Telstra was hesitant to agree to
the original iPhone's revenue-sharing model. But, now that revenue-sharing
has been pushed to the wayside, like so many failed business models, Telstra
is more than happy to offer the iPhone 3G to existing and new customers
alike.

Of course, Telstra is marketing the iPhone 3G as compatible with its
almighty Next G data work. Whatever Telstra has to do to sell more iPhones
is fine by us.

This was previously asked but you have not answered...

Will the iPhone receive the 'blue tick' to indicate it can be used in rural
areas?.

The cut and paste parrot can't answer, as it not been put in a press release
yet
