Am I missing something? The big 3 in the USA are already working on 4G, and one has a 4G network partially lit already. T-Mobile has a 3G network well in play as well...
So my question is.... Why the hell is New Zealand so far behind and JUST NOW lighting up a 3G network?
Vodafone has a 3G network up, and Telecom has had a 3G CDMA network up and running for several years. Anecdotal evidence also shows the standard GSM vs CDMA argument (ie cool phones and crappy network vs crappy phones and good network) is also evident in NZ:

I always wondered about that- why are Japan and Korea the only countries to get decent CDMA phones?
