Oh, absolutely agree. Wasn't suggesting otherwise. Was merely commenting
that the in-city reception alone is very impressive. Only had it a week
and it hasn't left the metro area yet.

Mmmm... not - drop-outs non-stop in many locations & with different
handsets. 'tis a sub-standard network rammed in with much haste & little
concern for consumers.

You must've missed out - but then, they weren't offered to the call centre
droids.

Let's see, free handset, unlimted calls (except 1900 & intl), unlimited
music downloads - no charges - that's a pretty good definition of free.

I was talking about ownership - I thought you were suggest Telstra staff are
given free mobiles, which they arent

Use of a corporate mobile is a different story.

Re: music downloads - corporate mobile services should not be indulging in
such

Telstra staff would not dare download music. Telstra have introduced such
draconian industrial policies such as tracking lines/tech staff vehicles
with GPS (subject to privacy lawas dispute with unions). Trujillo ordered
his senior executive to look at options to fire staff without need to pay
out redundacies - and they are doing just that.

demoing the service to friends & at organised event, remember ?

You'd be stupid to dare do so.

"Most" of 2m? 1,000,001? Staff? That's some serious recruiting.

It's not a case of "allow". As it stands Telstra is turning off CDMA on 28th
Jan. It does not need the Government's permission. The Government may
PREVENT this by passing a law, but that's different to Telstra needing to be
"allowed".
