I don't think much (new) will change now for the next couple of years - so perhaps now is a good time to get a 700/1800/2600 CAT6 phone, which will be your best advantage for the next couple of years. Though perhaps wait until early next year and see what the Samsung and HTC handset launches give us :)

True, but for a lot of people where a 2 year life span for a phone is the norm; a 700/1800/2600 CAT6 LTE, VoLTE capable phone should do the job for the next couple of years.

Spark to Vodafone: quit bragging

http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/gadgets/64442472/spark-might-have-largest-4g-network

Spark is on the verge of complaining to the Commerce Commission after Vodafone refused to remove claims from its billboards and television advertising stating it had the largest 4G network.

Oh boy are we going through the motions again.

I remember Vodafone being targeted by the ComCom for a sort of similar claim a couple years back when talking about WCDMA900 coverage.
