BT shedding more mobile customers

According to The Times, BT’s mobile users are at an all time low. Not in the emotional sense, just numerically.

The paper says that there are now only 86,000 people with BT as their mobile provider, the lowest amount since the telco’s numbers started. It’s not really a great surprise, given BT hasn’t had its own mobile network for a good long time and its last big pushes into mobile, Fusion and Movio, weren’t a real hit with customers.

BT is apparently working on a new mobile strategy, although there’s aren’t many details at the moment on what that will entail. Chances are there will be more Fusion, perhaps with a more businessy edge and, who knows, maybe an all out exit from consumer mobile services altogether.

  • You just don’t think BT when you think mobile. Personally if I do, perhaps fleetingly, consider them, I assume they’ll be inflexible and expensive. Just the image I have. They certainly have some work to do…
