In one of the fastest ever deployments of a GPRS network anywhere in the world, a number of breakthroughs in the areas of technology, applications and content have been achieved. Star among them, at the very leading edge of global technology, is the Cricket World Cup video service exclusively on the Hutch GPRS phones.
In a countrywide deployment, the Hutch GPRS service - HutchWorld - will be available to all Hutch
subscribers in India including those in upstate towns in the state circles of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The other unique feature is roaming. Hutch subscribers will be, for instance, able to receive a video clip of cricket highlights even while roaming in any Hutch network.
Phones capable of receiving and replaying video clips are also just becoming available in the global market. The Ericsson P800, which is one of the first phones capable of video replays, is available at Hutch Shops across the country. Alternatively, consumers who have more readily available and lower price MMS enabled GPRS phones will be able to receive progressive stills of the World Cup on their phones.

Another GPRS service expected to be widely used is photo messaging using MMS. Consumers with camera phones will be able to take pictures and send them to any MMS enabled phone on the Hutch national network or indeed to an e-mail ID anywhere in the world. Not just that, consumers will also be able to add a text or voice clip to the photo message and for those recipients who do not have a GPRS phone the service still works by sending an SMS prompt to the recipient advising him to access the
MMS message through the conventional internet.
Fully operable e-mail service is another valuable feature. Hutch has exclusive tie-ups with MSN Hotmail to offer e-mail services on the phone to its consumers. Yahoo mail and MSN Messenger are also available. The advantage of e-mail on the GPRS network is that e-mail is in a format similar to its familiar PC version.
