Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Coonan later defended the network, She told the Australian Financial Review's broadband conference in Sydney in August that "Independent testing by Enex Testlab has confirmed that Opel's proposed network is capable of delivering the performance requirements to which Opel has committed for coverage, speed and service quality."
However her office failed to provide any further information to substantiate or expand upon this statement. iTWire asked "Is any of their report public? If not, are there any plans to make it public. If not, why not?" We received no response.
Enex is a Melbourne-based laboratory founded in 1989 as part of RMIT University that claims to have "grown into a commercial testing facility unparalleled anywhere in the world." However its services appear to be primarily laboratory testing.
There is no doubt that the WiMAX technology proposed by Opel is 'capable' of performing as specified. The question many are asking is whether it will do so in real world situations. Given the level of scepticism and criticism that the proposal has engendered it seems surprising that, if these performance claims really have been independently verified, Coonan has not made more of the test results.
