o     Exhibits to show charts on operator subscriber numbers and market shares

o     Strong customer acquisition while competitors face falling new connections – i. ... capturing a large % of new wireless market – can this be interpreted as evidence that Virgin enticed non-users to enter the wireless market – value creation?

•     Capturing customer value

o     Virgin has highest average revenue per user for PREPAY customers in the UK

o     It is now a “brand” game – as wireless devices become products of mass consumption, brand plays an ever increasing role in securing market share

o     A rush of imitators trying to leverage their own brand power – FT mobile, Carphonewarehouse/Fresh, Man.
