Telstra and Optus will delay the planned closure of their 3G networks in order to conduct a final public safety awareness campaign amid concerns that emergency services calls could be affected.
No, I think those feats are real and grounded too. I dont dismiss them. However, I look at the evidence and it says that more towers are needed and more are bing built.
We also now use WiFi for calling as a backup for phones. Reallocating spectrum leads to increased distance (even if less than 3g).
The reality is that remote towns will still be covered. Truly remote areas never were and will remain that way. We have in increasing amount of satellite coverage options opening up. Is it cheaper and more energy efficient tonusr that in the bush? Are repeaters rather than handsets viabke?
I’m not dismissing the points. I’m pointing out that there are two sides and that by saying one side is pointless, if it isn’t, is not arguing in good faith.

Ah, I must have misunderstood, sorry. Rereading your first reply to TinyBreak I see that now.
