Cyberspace Article #3 - Bushwalkers Need Mobiles

This is one of the articles I did in class to save time for doing one at home. I tried to write it as neat as possible, I appologise if it's hard to read some words or a wording error. This article isn't so much about the internet, but it does have an impact on society's expansion in computer technology. For example - Imagine when compact computers become a practical size in the amount of data it carries and the physical size that will be useable for everyone to use. It doesn't seem so far away when considering the wide-spread technology of iPods, mp3 players, play stations, USBs and notepad phones. But what about the rising phenomenons in emergency technology?
Telstra should have mobile phone towers that cover the areas of metropolitan areas but I can't even understand one sentence someone says to me on my mobile when I'm at home because I live in a new area of the city. My perception of Telstra is that its offers are not so reliable as it claims to be, the corporation is constantly looking for business in the most irritating way (foreign employees calling up on weekends asking if we want to switch to Telstra) and bludgers who go on company holidays to get drunk every night.

Where's the improvement in emergency communication technology in that?

I included a link to a website with more information on the advantages and disadvantages plus more advise on bushing with a mobile at hand. Click the title to read it.
Here's also another link containing a recent article about emergency communication technology. Interestingly, it mentions how GPS-enabled phones can make portable phones easier to locate because the transmission of the location data is faster. The downside is that this acticle is reviewing improvements in technology in America, when it's an Australian website. That's pretty sad.
