Hello.
Thank you for a challenging question, and for your responsiveness to
the clarification requests.
I've conducted several searches for information on Hutchison's "3"
service, concentrating on group "chats" and weblog postings, since
these sorts of online discussions seemed your primary area of
interest. I've also included some recent news items.
The results of my searches are posted below -- I cleaned out any links
that were not related to your question, although I left in those that
may only have a tangential relation. Most of them are on the money,
however, discussing the status and pros and cons of 3.
But let me first say that if you feel additional information is
needed, don't hesitate to let me know through a Request for
Clarification. I will do what it takes to get you the info you need.

I searched Google Groups for [ Hutchison "three.com" UK ]. It may be
helpful to click on the link below to see the search results, as these
will allow you to go directly to the discussions themselves, and to
further expand the results to see the full discussion threads.
