Vodafone today launched its third-generation high-speed mobile phone service, going head-to-head with competitors Hutchison, Telstra and eventually Optus.
Mobile carrier Hutchison wants to start providing data speeds of up to 3.6 megabits per second on the back of its third-generation (3G) mobile phone network from March or April next year.
The nation's number two telco Optus has pledged to upgrade the data speed of its entire third-generation (3G) national mobile network by the end of May 2007.
Mobile carrier Vodafone today said on 20 October it would switch on an upgrade to its third-generation (3G) mobile phone network that would allow significantly higher data download speeds.
