Rogers Wireless and TELUS Mobility Q3 2007 Results

First and third placed Canadian mobile operators, Rogers Wireless and TELUS Mobility, both recorded their best net additions of the year so far in Q3 2007, as is traditionally the case in this seasonally-affected market. TELUS came in very slightly short of what it achieved in the third quarter last year, with 135k net new connections, against 137k 12 months earlier. Rogers did 20% better than it managed last year, with 243k net additions (up from 203k), almost exceeding the recent records set in Q3 2005 and Q4 2006 when it registered 244k new customers.  more

This was hardly a major change: it lost five thousand customers in the quarter and US Cellular, which had been breathing down its neck, added 16,000, to move ahead of its Canadian counterpart for the first time. The chart below shows the new pecking order, which is unchanged in all other respects. more
