A new report offered by Businessinfo.ws 'Hutchison 3 and Telecommunications International: to 2011 and beyond' sees Hutchison beginning to gain traction in its key markets. "Despite the often hostile media press,
Hutchison's 3 has been able to wade in and grab the consumer by the lapels", said Jake Saunders, the reports author. "Just a year ago, headlines were predicting a hasty and undignified exit from 3G by 2006. That possibility is receding fast."
HWL has managed its mobile networks through a menagerie of brands: 3, Orange, Hutch and others. The report concludes that HWL will eventually consolidate those brands under Hutch (if 2G) and 3 (if 3G).
The 'Hutchison 3 and Telecommunications International: to 2011 and beyond' report also suggests that there will be a number of IPOs hosted by HWL in local markets. Italy is next in mid 2005. 3.5G technologies, such as HSPDA & HSUPA, will not only improve the end-user download experience but also cut the cost and number of 3G base-stations needed by 2010. Based on a retail shelf analysis, the monoblock handset design is shown to be still king in most markets but the clamshell is closing the gap fast.
