1282981 2012-06-20 09:52:00 The sale of the digital dividend spectrum rights is expected to boost the New Zealand government's coffers by anywhere between $100 million and $1b, depending largely on whether it pushes telcos for the highest price, whether it imposes conditions on the spectrum's use, and on negotiations with Maori over any concessions they may receive following a Waitangi Tribunal claim.
Claim for what? That they own the air waves or something? What the hell next !!

There was some noise about the new iPad being incompatible with Australia's 4G network and as such can't be advertised as 4G, so pretty sure they have one...

1282985 2012-06-20 21:29:00 Oz already has a 4g network. Telstra has one for Australians. Can't believe the f**king maori though. How the hell can they make a claim on this?:angry Nick G (16709)

Next G is the same tech as Telecom's XT..

Telstra AU already has a limited amount of LTE on the 1800 band
