Vodafone seeks deal for 3G
Apr 22, 2003 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Vodafone has expressed interest in striking a deal with Hutchison 3G, claiming that the Australian market cannot support multiple networks. Grahame Maher, Vodafone MD, believes that a network-sharing arrangement with Hutchison would be beneficial for both companies. However, he has also indicated that Vodafone may be interested in buying the 3G network. Hutchison 3G, of which Telecom New Zealand is a major stakeholder, is the only mobile telephone network to offer video calls.
