Telstra has announced a number of changes to its 4G service across Australia, including the fledgling 700MHz band, Cnet.com reported on Sept 11.

The carrier says that by the end of January 2015 its 4G coverage will be accessible by 90 percent of the Australian population. It\'s also expanding its 700MHz commercial trials with selected areas of Sydney, Adelaide, Darwin, Bundaberg, Yamba, and Sarina being switched on next week.

In the lead up to January 2015, Telstra will have commercial trials of 700Mhz in more than 20 additional metro and regional areas across Australia. This will culminate with the formal switching on of 700MHz services on January 1, 2015. This will initially be available in a 3km radius of all capital city CBDs and another 50 regional areas.
