www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Following the success of a two month pilot scheme, 3G service has been launched by MVNO TelstraClear over Vodafone’s network for business customers. The launch date has been preponed to take advantage of disgruntled customers in the wake of Telecom New Zealand’s recent 3G network failure.

The cellco used to provide services over Vodafone’s network but switched to Telecom in 2007 following a dispute but decided to move back to Vodafone after Telecom decided in May 2009 not to allow the MVNO to take credit on its 3G network.

According to TelstraClear, is targeting the post-paid market and is aiming for 100,000 subscribers within the next three years.
