HN dialy informed that only 140,000 users in Czech Republic used the service to change operator, while keeping their number. That represents only 1.1% of total number of users. T-Mobile and Vodafone are net gainers with approx. 4,500 users each, while TEF O2 CR is net loser of 9,000. According to TEF O2 CR’s spokesman company lost some users, but new users that they gained are more lucrative.
Our view:
These data shows that service is not as popular as in Western European countries, where approx. 2-3% of users the service. Given this limited attractivity we see the news as neutral.
