T-Mobile Preps 2.5G, 3G & Wi-Fi Data
Posted: 19th Mar, 2004 By: MarkJ
UK mobile operator T-Mobile has announced a new 'unlimited data access' business package, which will encompass the use of newer 3G broadband, existing GPRS and Wi-Fi wireless services:
T-Mobile's Multimedia Net Card is a data card for notebooks capable of connecting to GPRS (2.5G), 3G and Wi-Fi networks. The company will offer "time-based" data pricing instead of charging by the megabyte.
"We don't want our customers to worry about which technology they are working on. We have handsets, networks, services, tariffs and customer services that work across 2.5g, 3g and Wi-Fi," said Devereux.
T-Mobile will be charging £99 for the combined GPRS/3G/Wi-Fi data card and will offer a £70 monthly subscription for unlimited data use across all three networks, which means business users will be able to connect to the Internet in most locations -- including Wi-Fi hot spots operating by T-Mobile -- for a fixed monthly fee.
Those interested in the service should note that the card will be available by May this year. Sadly, handset based 3G services will not follow until later in the year. More @ ZDNet.
