Our Mission - Pathfinders for a New Medium

3G fuses together two of the most powerful consumer technologies in history - the interactivity and depth of the Internet with the convenience and freedom of mobile telephony. 3G takes the most compelling aspect of each of these platforms and brings them together in one device. 3G is a new wireless communications category that offers a highly personalised interactive multimedia experience - anywhere, anytime.

Hutchison Whampoa believes that 3G will change the way people communicate and the way they access information and entertainment. This will be as significant as the birth of television after a generation of radio.

We are not in the business of selling phones. Our mission is to enhance people's lives - we are creating a service that, upon demand, shows you where you are, what you want and how you want it - and puts it in the palm of your hand. Over time, we hope that this will become an indispensable part of our daily lives.

Globally, Hutchison Whampoa has 3G operations in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Macau, Sweden and the United Kingdom and markets its services under the global brand 3 .
