Hutchison Telecommunications Australia yesterday said it had so far "weathered the storm" of the economic downturn, and remained confident its merger with Vodafone Australia would go ahead.
The Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) today decided not to oppose the Vodafone/Hutchison merger a move welcomed by the two companies.
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 attempt to appoint a person of its choice as the chairman of the "3GIS" mobile network it operates with rival Hutchison Telecom Australia was yesterday rejected by the Victorian Supreme Court.
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 ACCC is concerned that a Vodafone-Hutchison merger will stifle mobile competition, but after new figures reveal systematic deception by carriers it's prudent to ask: could the merger really make things any worse than they already are?
Virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry has their say in the Senate Standing Committee's public hearing into the pending legislation to split up Telstra, in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.

Vodafone Live, launched on Tuesday, is likely to be a success in Australia, according to mobile communications analyst Jason Ross.
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.
