Andrew,
FDMA & TDMA each has their strengths & weaknesses. FDMA will never be "last years model", it comes down to what the customer needs. TDMA comes with a whole new set of challenges- and costs- and I can't see why a relatively low population state like SA would need Phase 2. It isn't something ACMA would be pushing, and unless the agencies are pushing it I can't see why they would leap straight to Phase 2. I know NSW is looking at Phase 2 for Sydney and retaining Phase 1 elsewhere. That is because of NSW Police needing the spectrum/network capacity in Sydney, but in more rural areas the pressures don't exist.
