BT Launches 3G Combo Package

ZDNet UK writes that BT has launched a combined 3G, Wi-Fi and GPRS service called BT Datazone, a flat rate service with consolidated billing and no need to purchase individual connectivity packages. A Datazone package costs £49 per month and includes 4,000 minutes of Wi-Fi access via BT Openzone as well as the ability to download up to 75MB of information via 3G or GPRS.

Dean Bubley at Disruptive Analysis said, "This is reasonably competitive. My main reservation is that with no 3G roaming coverage outside of the UK and Ireland it is probably less useful."
