On the subject of "Intercarrier Roaming" I have just visited the UK
where I was offered the choice between two competing carriers - "UK
Cellnet" and "UK Vodaphone". One was markedly cheaper than the other,
so I chose the cheaper carrier wherever possible.
I notice that domestically if I hit the key for "available networks"
then the three Australian carriers appear on the "available" list, but
there is no way I can connect to anything but Telstra: this being the
carrier I have a contract with, and the point of this discussion.
As a matter of interest are UK visitors visiting Australia offered a
choice between the three Australian networks as I was offered a choice
of two competing networks in the UK, and equally as important are people
in the UK able to chose between the competing carriers as I was
permitted to do while "roaming" in the UK ?
