T-Mobile Netherlands solid growth seen in late 2006

Today presents T-Mobile UK on the annual 2006. In the fourth quarter there were 86,000 new customers. T-Mobile thus passed the important milestone of 2.5 million customers and brought the total number of customers at the end of 2006 at 2,552,000, an increase of over 10% over the previous year. The total turnover in 2006 amounted to 1138 billion, a growth of 7% over 2005. The average revenue per user (ARPU) remained stable at 38 euros. EBITDA for the full year amounted to 189 million euros, an increase of 7.4%.

Hans van Leeuwen, Finance Director T-Mobile Netherlands: "Despite lower fees to dealers and reduced subsidies on handsets, a movement that last summer we have deployed, T-Mobile in 2006 show that it is possible even in a saturated market to grow. The January 2006 launched prijsplan T-Mobile Flex has a clear contribution to growth. Our customers called in 2006 over 11% more and thus the number of minutes spent over 3.5 billion in 2006. We see also that the use of mobile Internet greatly increases. At the end of 2006 our customers had almost 25 Terabyte of data through our network consumed. That was twelve times as much as a year earlier. '
