Italian H3G makes first videophone call
November 27, 2002
The first person-to-person video call via 3 handsets over the UMTS
commercial network of 3 was conducted successfully yesterday (Europe
time) between Rome and Milan, as well as Rome and London, which
marked a major achievement for the Hutchison Group's 3G technology
delivery.
This groundbreaking event was the fruit of extensive successful
development and testing work by 3 both in Italy and in the UK and
was witnessed by an invited audience in Rome. Both companies are
in their respective user trial phases, designed to prepare and test
3's suite of products and services ahead of commercial rollout to
retail customers in the near future.
The calls were conducted between the Italian Minister of Communications
Maurizio Gasparri in Rome, the Editor-in-Chief of the leading Italian
business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore Guido Gentili in Milan, and Hutchison
Whampoa Group Deputy Chairman Victor Li in London.
Minister Gasparri commented that this call is a significant leap
into the future, given that with 3G capabilities, one could see
images and navigate on the Internet while on the go.
"This marks an exciting step forward in our ongoing phased rollout
of services", said Hutchison Deputy Chairman Victor Li, who made
the video call on 3 in person from London to the Minister in Rome.
"The products and services we are building bear out what the Minister
witnessed for himself today: these are not simple telephones, they
are powerful mobile multimedia devices designed for the eye as well
as the ear. Quite simply, there is nothing like 3 in the market."
