Scott, this is not entirely true, Telstra in the alpine regions have
modified the system to use 2 time slices and now get about 70km. Its still
not adequate for the bush, but it is possible. Of course, most of our
phones struggle to get enough signal back to a cell 70km away.

Where do we start - what people want in country is a service and not

I think that is just coincidence but I may be wrong. I find that under
certain circumstances even bluetooth can be picked up on an amplifier.
The problem with GSM is that the protocol has propagation delay limits
built-in which limit cell radius to a bit over 30km regardless of how
powerful your transmitters are.
