The latest push came this week as the CDMA Development Group (CDG) lobbied the federal government to force Telstra to sell off rather than decommission the asset. The group represents over 80 telcos worldwide which have joined to direct the path of CDMA technology, including Telstra. However CDG Asia-Pacific spokesperson James Person declined to directly refute Telstra's comments it could not sell the CDMA network because its spectrum and 80 percent of infrastructure was being redeployed into the 3G/WCDMA network. "We have not weighed into the details on how another CDMA network would operate alongside of any other network in Australia," Person said today in a telephone interview with ZDNet Australia. "Our interest as a trade association isn't in those details, our interest is merely that some of our member companies are very interested in keeping CDMA operating in Australia," he continued. "The outcome we're looking for is that CDMA stays in Australia."
