TamsIJungle has learned that Hutchison Austria plans to offer a subsidized iPad to customers at a 333euro rebate.
This information comes from Berthold Thoma, the CEO of Hutchison Austria.
Hutchison Austria will be the first Austrian carrier to bundle the iPad. We will do so via our long-established laptop bundle, which offers customers a 333euro rebate if they agree to a 2yr contract offering 5GB of data for 29.90euro.
As the first iPads sold in Austria wont have 3G radios, we will bundle the device with a Huawei modem called i-Mo. This device is a wireless wifi router, creating a personal WiFi for the iPad.
It will be interesting to see how many carriers follow suit.
