I expect that Voda will try and launch the service at a premium price, probably with tiered "per megabyte" pricing (perhaps c£1/MB?) and a top-end "all you can eat", although I suspect the small-print will probably have a cap. (1GB per month?)

It's worth putting any prices in context. To put data ONTO the Internet costs companies with websites roughly $1 per GB. To take data OFF the Internet via ADSL on normal usage costs around $10 per GB (ie perhaps 3-5GB/month total), while to take data off the Internet via GPRS costs about $1000 per GB (or even $10000 per GB if you're roaming internationally).

I think Voda is rushing the 3G data service out before WiFi is widespread & gets its own roaming sorted.
