FULL mobile phone coverage in the City Loop will be available by the end of the year, Premier Denis Napthine says.
Melbourne train passengers will no longer have an excuse to get someone off the phone.
Telstra and Optus have joined with the State Government to offer the mobile coverage.
Premier Denis Napthine said the black spot cost Melbourne millions of dollars in lost productivity.
“It’s the 21st century, we need full connectivity,” Dr Napthine said today.
He said the cost of the project was commercial-in-confidence, but 3G services would be delivered by the end of the year.
