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."
