Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

It has now gone one step further with the Telstra 165, which has a good old fashioned pull out aerial and has been developed specifically to have optimal RF performance. Anecdotes from one Telstra rural area manager, relayed by Booth suggest that it might be what Telstra needs to get those last customers off CDMA. "A customer complained to a federal member that the Next G was no good at Condamine. The customer was 36 kilometres from the town. I made phone calls and watched Foxtel on a verandah with the 165....Another farmer [said] CDMA is no good. Therefore, Next G will also be no good. I drove around the farm with the farm manager, watching Foxtel and making calls on the handheld 165, in areas where they had difficulty with the CDMA outside a vehicle."{moscomment} |
