Looks like Optus and Vodafone are going to sharing their infrastructure for 3G mobile network…

Telstra and Hutchison Telecoms (Orange/3) announced a deal to share the their 3G infrastracture a few months back, and it looks like Optus and Vodafone are following suit.

I remember blogging a few months about Telstra to make use of the I-Mode “stuff” from (Japan’s) NTT Docomo.

I’m starting to wonder how long it will take to see the three companies (Telstra/Vodafone/Optus) start offering 3G services. I hope it happens soon, it will be good for the mobile market place. Though, i’m not sure if the Australian market is really ready for the video streaming and other such content. I’m sure it will happen, (the local takeup), but how long will it be before we see something?

I don’t want to see something crazy like this on the 3G network though.

So i’m wondering blog readers, what sort of things would you expect from your 3G provider? Better data rates (price-wise)? Streaming video content?
