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.
Look to WiMax and citywide Wi-Fi instead, says analyst.

Getting into the finer print of Virgin's broadband-over-3G plans is a little like getting up close and personal with the office hottie and then discovering they have a personal hygiene problem.
After the government threw its hat in the ring over WiMax, friends and foes of the technology have been frothing at the mouth to deliver a natty sound bite on why the standard is the wireless equivalent of a cold sore or the saviour of all things broadband. Vodafone has now announced it's sleeping with enemy and joining the WiMax Forum. Who's the winner here?
