That left the Swedish telecommunications company announced Thursday at the presentation of the fourth-quarter and annual results. The provider blames the disappointing customer growth to fierce competition in the cheaper segment.
Tele2 got there in the last three months of 2015 net 3000 Dutch customers. A year earlier there are 22,000. Sales grew, but investment in the 4G network it had a severe impact on profitability.
The influx of new customers have increased, said spokesman Jan-Willem te Gussinklo Tele2. Research by GfK shows, according to the informant that “almost 30 percent” of the subscriptions with a supplied device is now being closed at Tele2.
However, it also got more Tele2 customers to another provider. That’s according to Gussinklo by competitor actions as Dutch New and Simple, offering cheap sim-only subscriptions. Tele2 focuses its 4G network mainly on subscriptions to a device. The provider does have sim-only subscriptions, but which have relatively small data bundles.
Profit
The Swedish parent company posted over 2015 year net profit from continuing operations of 1.3 billion krona (approximately 140 million euros). That is half less than in 2014. Sales increased by 3 percent to 26.9 billion kronor. In the Netherlands, revenue growth, except for foreign exchange and also amounted to 3 percent.
Tele2 also announced that it has appointed a new director in the Netherlands. Malin Holmberg takes over on April 1 from Jeff Dodds, who is moving to the UK telecom provider TalkTalk.
