Hi all, I've come across a situation that might be of interest.
The site is a moderately remote mountain gully. On the weekend of the 20th and 21st, a "music festival" was held on one of the properties. Neighbours who relied on Telstra wireless for Internet lost service. Telstra's page <http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/coverage-networks/our-coverage/index.htm> shows no coverage, but its reportedly usable most of the time. The suggestion was that hordes of young people (attendance estimates range from just over 500 to 1100) on iPhones and tablets maxed out the available bandwidth. I'm more inclined to blame RF interference from audio equipment and generators, drowning out feeble signals. What are the most probable causes? Has any telecoms law been broken? -- David Boxall | "Cheer up" they said. | "Things could be worse." http://david.boxall.id.au | So I cheered up and, | Sure enough, things got worse. | --Murphy's musing _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
