Customers Not Happy With 3
From the very beginning of Hutchison's "3" operation, we've been pointing out what appeared to be dreadful planning and marketing mistakes. When they were so full of themselves and believed that every move they made would turn up roses, it was easy. However, now that just about every move they've made has backfired (as expected), it becomes a bit pointless to kick them when they're down (and do they ever seem down). Still, just for the record, we should point out that a recent Oftel customer satisfaction report shows that 3 received fourteen times the number of customer complaints than any of its competitors. 14! It's too bad it isn't divisible by 3 or we could have had a real field day... Just more evidence that a big marketing push is no excuse for not executing a sound strategy.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
