One would have thought that before analogue coverage was taken from areas,
that digital coverage was at least the same if not better. After all digital
is supposed to be better.

One of the things my mobile is used for is for communication along a Tourist
Railway near Canberra. We used to have analogue coverage along some 90%
(45.2 kilometres) of the 48 kilometres, and digital coverage along some 70%
(33.6 kilometres) of the 48 kilometres.  Now we have no analogue coverage at
all for the line and still have the same digital coverage. This is great for
safety, What happen if there was a serious accident? Some local residents
are now complaining because they had analogue mobiles rather than landline
because it was cheaper, now they have no coverage at all.

Would have thought that there were some limit to what digital coverage was
going to be there before they pulled the analogue service.
