Ann, I'm glad you said that, because I was thinking JUST the same 
thing.  IN the city at least we can rush up the street.  When I use to live 
"in the bush" the street was 100 km's long and took 30 minutes to 
drive!  Even getting someone to meet you half way saved 30 minutes!

Just on that note from Richard about the CSG and it's "inadequacies."  As 
Richard points out, only Telstra would see it this way.  Optus EXTENDED the 
CSG to cover a range of other services and products, however, Optus then 
reneged when someone (cough) went to make a claim.  That matter is STILL 
pending legal action, should Optus ever really be brave enough to contest 
their own brochures and alleged contracts.  I sit in wait.  Actually I don't.
