3 has slashed the cost of its mobile data packages in time for Christmas, which now puts the carrier in line with rivals Vodafone and Optus, both of which announced similar deals last week.

SingTel Optus has announced the availability of video on mobiles by March 5, and streaming video on mobiles by the end of April. This is all happening over its GPRS network, an apparent attempt to pre-empt the launch of Hutchison's 3G network later this year.
Optus has teamed up with Microsoft to release a GPRS "Smartphone", re-emphasising the carrier's intention to steer clear of 3G services in the near future.
