Hutchison Whampoa’s H3G Austria unit has launched an offer of free internet access in the country, possibly in a bid to help secure regulatory approval for its proposed EUR1.4 billion (USD1.87 billion) takeover of fellow Austrian cellco Orange Austria. Reuters writes that in the bold move by Hutch – which is well known for disruptive pricing in all its European markets – comes as it seeks to demonstrate to regulators in Brussels that it would remain a champion for competition even if it took control of its rival. Under the plan, H3G Austria is giving away free SIM cards plus 20MB of data (per day), it said.
