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.
