PaulBrislen: We're working on it constantly and now that our engineers aren't tied up writing affidavits for court we'll be able to put them to better use on our own network.

PaulBrislen: mass congestion from hoardes of iPhone users "clogging" a pristine network with their demand for content?
PaulBrislen:
OK, I think you're mixing some things up here.
1: The interference is on the 900MHz band, not 2100MHz. So existing 3G coverage isn't affected, but it may (I'm not sure how much) impact on 3G extend in the 900 space. 2G coverage was badly affected.
2: We haven't known about it for six months - Telecom knew about it in November but we only found out in February. That's in the NBR story on the court case.

PaulBrislen:exportgoldman:PaulBrislen: Hi there,
we asked Telecom to stop interfering and they've agreed, so the proceedings come to an end. This was never about delaying the launch, stopping the launch, blocking Telecom launching or any of the other nutbag theories I've read over the past few days, it was about doing what's right for our customers.

I agree that Vodafone are not entirely to blame and there has been interference in your network, but doing the right thing by your customers I believe would be to not hide the fact from the public that your mobile network has been unable to guarentee completion of emergency services for the last six months. Unless, of course, that was just the PR department talking, and not a actual serious issue.
I still think, excluding the interference from Telecom, that Vodafone's network is experiencing a lot of different problems which will not be fixed by this such as 2G to 3G handover, poor 3G coverage in the cities, and pockets of 3G coverage between sites being too weak, so phones have to hand back over to 2G which well... Call Fail.

Oggie: Vodafone oh Vodafone, Lets see how this all pans out in the coming weeks, but I bet my bottom dollar that the launch of Telecom's XT network still goes ahead on the 13th.

For point 2, How on earth can you run NZ's largest mobile network and not know that you are dropping calls, or having interference problems like crazy. Actually, it does explain a few things about Vodafone if you don't have that visability into your own network and can't see dropouts/bad coverage spots. God knows people have been logging black spots manually with VFNZ for long enough.
sbiddle: Maybe some of the Telecom fanboys shouldn't have publically criticised Vodafone so quickly..
