The issue is the 4G LTE runs on the same frequency as analogue tv (which was meant to be switched off by now). So as an internet expert, I guess Telstra pumped out the Euro version as that spectrum was available for use.

I am surprised that Apple did this though. Europe, most of Asia and Australia can't have '4G' on the new iPad, yet they are advertising it as such... Quite interesting...
The 700Mhz Spectrum being used by Analogue tv's is due to be turned off in 2013. (I believe it was always planned for that year)

The ACMA will be left to process the dividing up of the spectrum & auctioning it off.

Ill be happy with just the Dual Band 3G, will mostly be connected to Wifi anyway unless i'm abroad.
