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.
VHA expects to have finalised its current extensive review of its newly merged workforce by the end of September, the mobile carrier's chief executive Nigel Dews said today.
3 Mobile customers will enjoy expanded access to 3G network services, provided they own a compatible handset.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has released its public competition assessment of the Vodafone/Hutchison merger after approving the deal a month ago.
Just a day after Optus said that it was reducing the quotas of its prepaid wireless plans, Vodafone has announced it is rolling back prices on its post-paid mobile broadband plans.
Although 3G phones have been around for years, it appears the iPhone 3G has successfully rewritten the rules of competition in Australia's mobile sector whetting the nation's appetite for data.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
The mobile market in India, I recently learned, is racing towards 300 million -- and doing so at a rate of 8.77 million new subscribers per month, according to the latest government figures.

Telecom New Zealand yesterday launched its new XT 3G mobile network at a ritzy event in Auckland. But the network hasn't gone live yet, which is likely due to new hardware being installed to curb interference that is causing rival Vodafone a headache.
Hutchison's 3 has launched a new mobile data deal today, based on a AU$99 mobile broadband cap.

We've got a few copies of former Optus executive Paul Fletcher's new book "Wired Brown Land? Telstra's Battle for Broadband" floating around the office and it's time to pass one on.
In his role as Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo is the most talked about and controversial telecommunications executive in Australia. ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Trujillo during a recent trip to the US to quiz him about wireless and handsets.
Functional separation is a powerful tool that could be employed to ensure consumers receive value for money, choice, variety, and innovative services across the nation.
3's new mobile broadband card is almost a no-brainer: It sprints along on 3's current 3G network and will kick into overdrive following the 3.6Mbps HSDPA network overhaul, slips into notebook ExpessCard and PC Card slots and to top it off, has exceptional pricing plans.
While this newer USB modem from 3 carries itself with a sharp new look, it delivers nearly identical performance to its predecessor.
It's hard to say whether it's the hardware or the network at fault with 3's USB Mobile Broadband USB Modem. Either way, we're not impressed with what it offers.
Whether you plan to use Skype or not, the Skypephone is a full-featured budget priced phone and value for money if you don't break it first.
Those seeking a wireless "broadband anywhere" connection have another reliable option with the 3 Mobile Internet NetConnect Card, but the usual "subject to coverage area" caveats apply.
