No doubt, but a tool is just an object with a purpose. The iPhone has become much more than that to many people – its now a lifestyle accessory, and being an early adopter carries currency (in certain circles). Obviously Apple exploited that market, but the flipside of playing to that are these extreme reactions and hysteria…you can get love and kisses, or you can get bit on the arse I generally filter out both extremes. Its just a tool, albeit an extremely adept one.

I could not agree more. I got so sick of all the negative hype that I recorded a set of ten speed tests to clarify the issue in my own head. The bars dropped right down, but the data rates did not (or did, but only slightly).

Hahahahaha I'm sure you hold a lot of sway with the AMCA… The whole reason Telstra invested $3 billion dollars and counting in the Next G network was to have the extra coverage as a competitive advantage… Do you think without Telstra's exorbitant prices they could have afforded to build their network? Clearly if they could then Optus of Vodafone would build a network that big too…

Also the whole open access regime for fixed line phones in Australia came about from Telstra having a monopoly over the existing phone network and inability of competitors to build their own networks… This is not and has never been the case for mobile networks, Telstra built the Next G network with their own money from scratch only 5 years ago… There is nothing stopping Optus from spending $3 billion and building their own network, the issue is it's not profitable for them and they know it hence why they spent only $500million on their 900mhz expansion.
