UK Market Tops 70 Million - Vodafone Leads Subscriber Growth
The total number of mobile connections in the UK surpassed 70 million during the fourth quarter of 2007, finishing the year on 70.99 million. In total there were 4.10 million net additions during the year, up from 1.35 million in 2006, while on a proportionate basis the annual customer growth rate almost tripled from 2.1% to 6.2%. This was due in part to the one-off loss of 1.30 million customers in 2006 as a result of T-Mobile's change in policy regarding active users, but even if we discount this there would have been an increase in customer growth in 2007.

The growth rate was well above that achieved by any other operator in the Australian market, which is partly to be expected given that Three is also the smallest of the four players, but was also sufficiently high to give the operator second spot in terms of net additions for the year with 333k new connections. This represents the operator's second best annual performance after the 431k new connections recorded in 2004 in the early days of the launch of the W-CDMA network to replace Hutch's old CDMA system. more
