Hutchison delay 3G launch until March
December 31, 2002
Three, formerly Hutchison 3G, may not launch commercial 3G services
in the UK until March next year reported the Independent. The operator
has admitted it is facing technical difficulties with its network
but is doing everything it can to rollout its 3G network as quickly
as possible.
After further research, 3GNewsroom.com has learned that Carphone
Warehouse, which has signed a retail agreement deal with Three,
expects to sell 3G handsets and services from Three in either February
or March next year. Mobile phone retailer Phone4u also said 3G handsets
from Three are due in March but the service would not be up to 3G
standard, more like 2.5G and added that the coverage is not expected
to be extensive.
Three was convinced in October that they would be able to have
paying customers by the end of this year. Retail outlets of Three
were planned to open in November but were postponed because no 3G
service was available. The operator has announced 3 handsets for
the launch and outlined the price of monthly tariffs, £59.99 a month
for the cheapest tariff and £99.99 a month being the most expensive.
Three has no existing customer base in the UK and its business
plan rest on being the first in the UK to launch 3G. Rival operator
Vodafone plans to launch 3G in mid-2003 and Orange expects to offer
3G service in late 2003.
