Mobile phone carrier 3 has announced its new business mobile prices today, claiming it "significantly reduces business mobile costs", however an IDC analyst warns customers to literally "watch their step".
Mobile carrier 3 this week confirmed that it had recently shown a number of Australian contractors the door due to what it said were the completion of certain projects.
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.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has released its public competition assessment of the Vodafone/Hutchison merger after approving the deal a month ago.
Telstra's battle against 3 was heard again in the Victorian Supreme Court on Friday, with the bigger telco reportedly attempting to win control of the two jointly owned carriers' mobile network.
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.
So where did Vodafone and Hutchison go wrong and will they fare any better as a combined entity? Telstra's Deena Shiff, Internode's Simon Hackett and analyst Paul Budde discuss the issue in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
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).
What a week it's been for mobiles.
In these two audio recordings, Nigel Dews, the CEO of mobile carrier 3, firstly goes through the current state of the company in detail and then deals with tough questions from reporters and analysts.
Hutchison's 3 has launched a new mobile data deal today, based on a AU$99 mobile broadband cap.
Is it finally time to ditch Optus' buggy network and go back to the dark side? Is it time to take my iPhone to Telstra's Next G and hang my head in shame?
The release of the iPhone 3G in July 2008 led to the creation of an entire industry where developers worked on their own applications to sell through Apple's App Store. This trend has since been picked up by larger companies. Read about why such a phenomenon is fast becoming a success.
Singapore Telecommunications last week shed light on the difficult industry dynamics that lay ahead of VHA, the mobile phone business being formed from the merger of Vodafone Australia and Hutchison Telecommunications.

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.
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.
