My earlier comments about the economics of country Australia telecommunications are doubly-relevent to mobile telephony. Customers in cities have largely ignored it, and GSM has continued to grow while CDMA has languished. So Telstra has this fancy new CDMA network where the only customers are in hard-to-service areas, with virtually no subsidization from high-density high-profit areas to pay for it.
The amusing thing is that CDMA has taken off in Cities with the EVDO for PDA's and laptops as a result of the pitiful throughput of GPRS on GSM. Experiences to date with public 802.11b in Airports & such have been entirely forgettable.
