Well, apart from Hong Kong, Austria, UK, Italy, Australia, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland 3 also has a license for Norway IIRC, perhaps they are counting that?

Hutchison also had a German subsidary and bid for a 3G license in 2000 (together with E-Plus), however afterwards they sold their share of the license (or more precisely: the company holding the license) to E-Plus as well as their subsidary to Carphone Warehouse.

However since the auction is next year 3 can't have a network here yet.
