EasyGroup close to launching low-cost mobile phone service
Easy Group, the holding company of no-frills British airline easyJet, is close to striking a deal to launch a low-cost mobile telephone service in Britain, the Financial Times reported, relays the Associated Press.
" EasyGroup founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou is keen to launch a mobile service in time for Christmas and a deal could be sealed as soon as next week, the FT said.
EasyGroup first revealed plans to enter the mobile telecommunications market in August, with an agreement to launch a low-cost mobile phone operator with Denmark's biggest telecoms operator TDC.
EasyMobile's appearance is expected to unnerve established mobile operators such as Orange and Vodafone, who fear significant damage to their revenues."
