"Half a Billion Customers in Top 10 European Markets

In the last of our quarterly roundups of the European market, we reported that the Ukraine had almost certainly overtaken France in January to become Europe's fifth largest market by customers. The Q1 2007 figures confirm this to have been the case, with Ukraine registering 2m net additions in the quarter to take its total to 51m, 1.5m ahead of France which finished with 49.5m mobile customers. Given the rapid deceleration of growth in Ukraine which took place in Q1 2007, it now looks unlikely that the market will progress any further; indeed one day one would expect the under-penetrated France - almost a third larger than Ukraine by population - to retake fifth place."
