What happens to the existing CDMA phones sitting around in stores? I'm assuming these will still be sold after the network launches, possibly for very low prices? Would this would mean retailers (non telecom owned, e.g. DSE, the warehouse) stand to lose money on whatever they haven't already sold?
Seeing as they have Telstra and another MVNO who's name escapes me still using the CDMA network they'll have the opportunity to move the handsets to them I would imagine.
williamirvine67: Wouldnt telecom want people moving to their new network rather than to the old one? selling cheap CDMA phones wouldnt be a smart move if they are.
You sell them the fones twice. Cheap ones on the old CDMA network and new ones in 3 or 4 years time on the new network.. They win either way..
