Hutchison’s 3G offering in the UK, 3, has been an ongoing case study in how not to launch a 3G system. However, they continue to move forward with the strategy of never admitting to a mistake. While they’ve already changed strategies a number of times, and sales are slowing down drastically, they still insist they’ll hit their targets by the end of the year.
