More interestingly. How does that (Telstra's CSG mobile substitute for
copper) work for folk who need 24x7 safety monitors and the like?

All the hand-wringing over PSTN resilency to failures and here we have
presumably thousands of residents around the country connected solely
via a mobile service anyway.

Do Telstra roll out PSTN for those customers that need health monitors
or do they recommend that the customer move?

As I understand it, these are not just a few rare folk in far flung
corners of the country, they are often in new suburbs that haven't
rolled copper infrastructure.
