One of Australia's major telcos has announced it will delay the planned shutdown of its 3G network to give customers more time to upgrade their devices.
On Monday, Telstra revealed its June 30 network closure date would be extended until August 31.
'Telstra have been communicating the closure of the network for nearly five years but understand there are a range of reasons why some people haven't moved on,' a Telstra spokesman said.
