3 Mobile customers will enjoy expanded access to 3G network services, provided they own a compatible handset.
Mobile carrier 3 has made a push to expand its third-generation (3G) mobile coverage, announcing plans to extend its 2100MHz network, and taking the lid off an agreement to use parts of Telstra's 850MHz Next G network for roaming.
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.
Hutchison's 3 and Telstra have faced off in the Supreme Court this week to argue over their shared mobile network.
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.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
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).
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.
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.
3's bundling of Skype as part of a new services package has the potential to upset the voice monopoly of incumbent fixed-telephony carriers ... if only customers knew about it.
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.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
The level of ignorance from Australian politicians about technology can be staggering. Here's some of the worst examples we've seen, and a short recipe for resolving the issue.
After months and months of waiting, Microsoft has finally kicked its latest mobile operating system out of the nest to see if it can fend for itself in the big, bad world of smartphone rivalries. Alongside the OS itself, Microsoft also rolled out a bunch of new web-based services as well.
A simple way forward for the National Broadband Network and for Telstra has now emerged.
Apple has recently released a beta of its upcoming iPhone 3.0 software. Although it comes with added functionality, the performance is laggy and some of the touted features are lacking.
It may look like a 3-D image but it's in fact a barcode designed to direct your phone's web browser to a relevant web page, or a phone number to dial.
Whether you're counting the cost of Three, waiting to go Live with Vodafone or thinking of taking Mobile Loop for a spin, we've got all your options covered.
Vodafone Live, launched on Tuesday, is likely to be a success in Australia, according to mobile communications analyst Jason Ross.
Another mobile phone giant has landed in Australia, bringing with it "true 3G"--the ability to make real time video phone calls--and intensifying the mobile battle in the country.
Hutchison launched its '3' mobile service in Australia today, unveiling an aggressive pricing scheme which could possibly lead to a price war.
Hutchison has the only 'true 3G' network available in Australia, which they have imaginatively named '3'. Every phone company -- including Hutchison -- are adamant that people don't want to buy technology, but services. So we've put 3 through its paces.
