Hutchison Telecoms is a listed company which has a 50 per cent interest in Vodafone Hutchison Australia Pty Limited (VHA).

In 2003, Hutchison introduced Australia's first 3rd generation (3G) network.

On 9 June 2009, Hutchison and Vodafone merged their telecommunications business (3 and Vodafone Australia) in a 50-50 joint venture called Vodafone Hutchison Australia Pty Limited (VHA).

VHA has created a much larger scale business that operates under both the 3 and Vodafone brands in Australia. VHA has over 7.4 million customers, revenues of approximately $4 billion, a market share of 27% and provides 3 and Vodafone customers with an even greater choice of affordable products and services.

The merger also brings together the combined global expertise, scale, research and development capabilities, and support of Vodafone Group and Hutchison Whampoa to provide the best possible service experience to Australian customers.

Current and future 3 and Vodafone customers can look forward to new and innovative products and services, and continued improvements in network performance and coverage.
