Vodafone has begun offering new fees and features to stir demand for
mobile Internet services as competition hits the company's profits from
voice services.

The group's operations in the UK and Germany have new mobile data
offerings, and subsidiaries in other markets are planning customised
packages of their own, according to Vodafone Group spokesman Mark
Street.

"Pricing for these new mobile Internet services will be on a market
by market basis, and it will be up to each market to decide on
features," Street said. "But what I can say is that as a group, we're
looking at prices that are predictable and transparent, and services
that offer value for their money."
