Hutchison Going 3G In Australia

With 3G services in the UK and Italy up and running the next market to go live for Hutchison on Australia. Apparently it's been a bitter battle down under with other carriers trying to steal some of Hutch's 3G thunder by announcing their own 3G-like services. The competition is so fierce Hutch is taking legal action against Optus for their 2.5G ad campaign. The whole thing is ridiculous, consumer aren't stupid. They will decide for themselves what is "next generation" and more importantly if they want it.
