Hutch has partnered with international technology partner Fastmobile
for the service and will be available to all Hutch and Orange users
nationally.
Hutchison Essar director Asim Ghosh said, "Push2Talk further
expands the utility of the mobile phone. It opens up a new channel
of communication. Push2Talk benefits the value-conscious consumer
as much as the enterprise user. It is unique since it uses existing
infrastructure to deliver a unique, new user experience. "Over
150,000 Hutch and Orange users will be immediately able to use the
service in India.
Fastmobile senior vice president Adam Sewall said, "Bringing
fastchat to one of the world's fastest growing mobile phone market
represents a significant step for the company. We're very pleased
to achieve this milestone with our partner Hutchison Essar. Hutch
is one of the leading brand names in India and also has the vision
of expanded VAS to both its consumer and enterprise customers."
Hutch has been running trials of this service over the last three
months. The push2talk service will be available at a price of Rs
99 per month. Users will also be able to send unlimited push2talk
messages.
