From the Telstra newsroom (
http://www.telstra.com.au/newsroom/): "Thursday Island is one of eleven remote communities to receive mobile phone coverage over the coming months as part of a $6 million project to extend Telstra’s CDMA mobile phone network to
Cape York and the Torres Strait. Other communities set to receive coverage over the next few weeks include
Bamaga,
Weipa,
Coen,
Lockhart River,
Laura, Hopevale, Kowanyama, Pormpuraaw,
Lakeland and Aurukun." Regardless of what you think of Telstra, they are doing a great job for residents and travellers by bringing CDMA service to more and more bush locations.
