Mobile Phone Company "3" announces mobile internet "upgrade"


in other words, we've got to make some money somehow to pay for the 3G licenses...

Last week "3" the mobile phone company announced it was "upgrading" its mobile internet offering.

They want people to use their mobiles to access the internet, they are intending to do this by allowing "unlimited access" for a fixed monthly fee.

It will be interesting to see if this pans out.

BBC news

Mobile firm 3 has agreed a tie-up with top internet firms in a move it claims will make the mobile internet work properly for the first time.

The Register

It's not often the press gets an opportunity to say nice things about a mobile operator - because it's been so rare to find an enlightened mobile operator. But Hutchison's 3 network must be waking up this morning to an unfamiliar sensation, of being praised.

Guardian

Network operator 3 yesterday promised to revolutionise the UK mobile phone industry by offering free long-distance phone calls and unlimited access to broadband-style internet services for a flat monthly fee.
