Vodafone Ends New 3 Mobile Customer Registrations

Gizmodo AU

It’s been two years since Vodafone and Hutchison Telecom merged 50:50, and in what VHA calls the “next step in that journey” (before 3 is likely phased out), new customers will now sign on as Vodafone subscribers. I’m sad to see 3 go: they challenged Telstra and Optus with Australia’s first 3G network in 2003, attracted young and tech-savvy fans, and grew in record time — even sponsoring Big Brother and the Cricket.
