Hutchison Unveils UK 3G Pricing
The long awaited Hutchison 3G launch is just around the corner. The company will start taking UK orders on February 22nd and plans to start delivering orders in mid-March. It remains to be seen if the service will be as revolutionary as the H3G hype machine would like us to believe. However they are going to make it easy to find out with very aggressive pricing plans. They will offer a pay-per-use plan as well as two monthly plans for GBP 59.99 and GBP 99.99 with discounts if you buy two handsets (so you have someone to take your video calls!). Early adopters will of course have to bear with early network problems and limited coverage. But that's a small price to pay for services that Hutchison proclaims "were in the realm of science fiction just a few years ago."
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
