Pricing for 3's X-Series revealed
Pretty low I'd say:
* £5/$10 for the base service, on top of an existing sub.
* £5/$10 extra for on-demand video from Sling or Orb.
Nice price indeed, but will it turn 3 into a profitable company? I doubt it.
Quote: Hutchison plans to roll out X-Series, which will initially be available on just two handsets -- the Nokia N73 and Sony Ericsson W950i
This is the rather silly side of it: Why on earth release a service that hardly works on any phone? Clearly this is due to the services involved, but that's no excuse, as any user with a 3G phone would benefit from a flatrate sub, with or without operator-endorsed services.
