Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Hutchison Telecom Australia has confirmed it is planning to launch a new Hutchison global service, announced and reported in iTWire last November, that will enable users to make Skye VoIP calls.
The Australian Financial Review on 6 February quoted Mira Bashi, head of communication and Business services at 3 Australia saying that the service, known as X-Series, was still under development in Australia.
As iTWire reported in November "3 has announced the global launch of the X-Series: a move it describes the beginning of Internet access via mobile broadband, saying it will extend access to several of the core applications and uses of the broadband internet to the mobile handset, with a new pricing model.
The full range of X-services from 3 will initially be available on two handsets the Nokia N73 and the Sony Ericsson W950i. An X-Series customer will be able to make and receive unlimited Skype calls with Skype PC users anywhere in the world, and to any other Skype 3 mobile customer. Skype to Skype calls on a 3 mobile will be free.
The initial launch was in the UK and the company said the service would be launched in other territories in the first half of 2007.
