Long Wait for 3G in Ireland

October 1, 2003

Despite the start of 3G trials earlier this week, Hong Kong operator Hutchison is unlikely to offer a full commercial third generation mobile service in Ireland until the end of next year, the Irish Times reports. The operator said its launch plans had been put back to late 2004 due to limited network coverage and a shortage of handsets. However, a company spokesman said a limited service may be up and running in the Dublin area within the next six months.

Hutchison holds the only ‘A’ licence in Ireland, which requires it to roll out 3G services to at least 80% of the population by 2008. Rivals Vodafone and O2 both opted for the higher priced ‘B’ concession, which covers only the five largest cities. Orange had also be in the running for a 3G licence but decided in the end not to bid.

Vodafone, which has signed up Nokia for its 3G network rollout, has started an Irish 3G trial among a number of business users but has given no commercial launch date. O2 is planning to start trials in early 2004, with service launch scheduled for late 2004 at the earliest.
