Vodafone Hutchison Australia Pty Ltd
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd., Sep 2011, Pages: 14
Vodafone Hutchison Australia is the third-largest mobile carrier in Australia, and was formed as a 50/50 joint venture in 2009 following the merger of Vodafone Australia and Hutchison 3G Australia. The two equal shareholders of Vodafone Hutchison Australia are Vodafone Group Plc and Hutchison Telecoms. Hutchison Whampoa remains the majority shareholder of Hutchison Telecoms, with an 88% stake. While in late August 2011, a further transition of the merged company began as new and renewing subscribers from 3 now can only choose Vodafone services.
VHA owns and operates the mobile brands of Vodafone, 3 and Crazy John’s, and offers a comprehensive suite of prepaid and postpaid mobile voice and data products to both consumer and business customers. In early 2011 the company was under fire from consumers for alleged poor service and coverage issues, while the company was also dealing with internal security issues resulting in privacy breaches.
Since then, network upgrades across Australia including LTE have commenced and will continue during 2011-2013. These upgrades and new towers should bring the quality bandwidth that is necessary to keep the ever growing expansion of mobile broadband usage that the company has been experiencing. VHA also began working with NBN Co in a fixed-line broadband trail in the NBN test sites in mid-2011.
