I never understood why carriers did not get all the 450 MHz spectra available and force the suppliers to make legions of handsets in that frequency. Perhaps not enough governments made it available to be a world wide roaming phenomenon. It would sure save oodles on base stations and associated networking.

CDMA network replacement on track: Telstra abc.net.au Telstra has rejected suggestions the rollout of its new mobile phone network in rural Australia is facing major technical difficulties. Reports today claim trials of the billion dollar 3G network show the technology is not up to scratch and will not be able to provide the same quality and range as the current CDMA network. Warwick Ponder from Telstra denies the claims, saying the program is still on track to replace CDMA by 2008. "We still stand by what we've said all along about this network," he said. "Today's story in the Australian Financial Review is a bit like speculating about the performance of a racing car before the wheels have even been fitted. "The proof for Telstra customers will be in the eating of this pudding and I'm sure they'll be very pleased with the services they get."
