Yes, Darius, but as usual people living in regional Australia (ie. those who have the cheek not to live in the big cities) are cruelly disregarded

NO 850Mhz UMTS frequency

So no regional Telstra 3G

Optus, Vodaphone etc have no interest in people outside the cities

Ho hum ... city-based manufacturing failures such as auto assemblies are given $6bn of tax money but the regional mining communities that actually supply this money cannot get an 850Mhz UMTS device of their choice
