(keitai-l) Re: Dutch i-mode hit hard by Vodafone Live!

That's intersting about Vodfone Portugal/Telecel. What about competition
from Optimus or TMN to drive the prices down? In Ireland it is all free
until 1st February. I agree EUR15 a Mb is high, do they not have a tarriff
like here where you get so much per month and then pay a lower rate per
kilobyte?

Well, not in Portugal for instance.

Each MB of data costs around 15 Euros!!!

And MMS, ringtones and games stoped being free even before the launch of
Vodafone live.
