Hutchison's 3 prices seem fairly good for the Internet access option and will provide the first crack in the international roaming market in 2007 (in terms of skype to skype calls). The £10 option includes the slingbox capability. They also bundle a half priced slingbox. The definition of unlimited data is here and there are caps for various services seem fair (e.g. 80 hours per month for slingbox, 5000 minutes for Skype) and routine surfing to websites aimed at mobile users would incur less than 1Gb per month. It appears that users can't use skype-out as it specifies skype to skype calls.
Some websites are blocked (but they don't say which ones). They do say the user can't access adult content but not clear if they block them or actually look at traffic. Users can't bypass international roaming charges for the moment when using skype to skype service (though presumably other services provide text bypass for emails, instant messaging etc). They can however do that from January 2007 when roaming on 3's other networks. This could make it a real winner for users roaming in those countries. Looks like you can access slingox (and your PC via Orb) when roaming on international video grade networks. All in all a big step forward for mobile users.
