Burgess also brown-eyed the Senate and Rudd. Parliamentarians get to obey
Telstra now, and handover the $4.7bill, else have their parliamentary
telephones disconnected.

How could it not, when NextG covers 99.n% of the population and CDMA does
98.n% of the population?

As in, the differential?
see below
In any case the NextG total landmass is in the 10+ precentage, around 12 or
15% I think, and the sq km difference is
NextG - 2.0m sq km plus
CDMA - 1.6m sq km
So thats an extra 400,000sq km - not something to sneeze at
also nextG will only grow. CDMA is dead.

Nope, he's correct there. NextG _does_ cover more square km of Australia
than CDMA did. It's just that it doesn't cover _all_ of the square km
that CDMA did.

Whether or not NG has more coverage than CDMA, I found out last weekend
that it doesn't do it, region by region.
Imagine this - Optus has better coverage in some rural areas (not regional
or large country urban centres) than that of NextG.
How embarrassing (for Telstra) is that???

It must be stunted, then, in some areas. In NE Vic over the weekend I
found that NextG coverage hasn't improved since I was last up that way a
year ago. And in a couple of spots Optus coverage was better than NextG.
