doesnt the Hutchinson Telecomms Group own both Orange and Three?!?
It was hypothesised that Hutchinson used Three to 'dip its toe' into the new technology to test the response rate of consumers!
I dont see why Orange couldnt match Three when they both have the same parent company!!!
Just my £0.02 ;D

Right,
Just found this on some site:
Orange:
Originally owned by a consortium of British Aerospace and Hutchison (a major Hong Kong corporation), Orange has been sold to Mannesman, a German mobile phone network. Mannesman was in turn taken over by Vodafone, who sold Orange to France Telecom. France Telecom then floated Orange as a separate company and arr trying to extract as much revenue from it as possible.
3:
Three, or "3" as they prefer to be called, are the newest entrants of the UK mobile networks. Owned by Hutchison, the original owners of Orange, 3 bought a UTMS (3G) mobile licence, and their March 2003 UMTS (3G) launch date put them well ahead in offering this new service in the UK.
