Italian Market continues to slow but Wind weathers storm
For the second successive quarter the Italian mobile market saw a net loss to its customer base, a decline of 0.17m taking the total below 85m with an end-quarter figure of 84.93m. Almost a quarter of a million customers were lost in the first half of the year. As a result, annual net additions were at their lowest level for four years with a twelve-month gain of 4.08m, while proportionate growth of 5.0% was the worst figure for five years. more

UK 3G Mobile Users Passes 10 Million Mark
In Q1 08, the UK mobile customer base saw its first quarterly decline for two years, shedding 119k customers to finish the quarter on 70.67m. This is equivalent to a penetration rate of 116.0%. The losses were widespread, with O2, T-Mobile, Virgin and Tesco all suffering net declines. A similar range of companies also lost customers in Q1 07, but in that quarter a strong performance from Vodafone (723k net additions) ensured that the total customer base grew; in Q1 08, however, the highest figure for net additions was Orange's 114k. Hutchison gained 75k and Vodafone 41k, but O2 lost 79k, T-Mobile 71k, Virgin 68k and Tesco 100k. more

Hutchison Australia: Huge Financial Improvements as Base Grows 27%
Hutchison Australia, which markets its services under the Three brand name, has recorded 27% customer growth in 2007 to finish the year with a base of 1.58m. 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

European W-CDMA Customer Numbers top 50m in First Quarter
In Q4 2006 Hutchison Whampoa gave the first indications of the activity level of its European 3G mobile customer base, and so severe were the numbers that the restatement materially impacted the overall 3G picture in the European market. However, whilst the 3G doom-mongers may have taken this as further fodder for their arguments that third generation services are still not taking off, the first quarter 2007 figures tell a different story. more

New Zealand Q4 2006 Market Update
The two New Zealand operators, Telecom and Vodafone, shared almost equally in fourth quarter net additions, with the incumbent winning by just a small margin of 53% to 47%. The result gave Telecom another 0.3pp of market share to add to the 0.6pp it picked up in Q3 2006, but even with both quarters in aggregate the operator has pulled back less than half of the 2pp it lost in the first half of the year. more
