French mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) M6 Mobile, which operates under a licensing agreement with Orange France, M D Ronan Dubois has announced that it has signed up a total of 1.9 million subscribers.
According to reports, a vast proportion of M6 Mobile’s customers currently opt for capped plans starting at US$25.92 per month, which does not allow for high-end smartphones to be subsidized at the same level as by mobile network operators.
M6 Mobile, the mobile communication service arm of M6-Metropole Television, has reported signing up its one millionth user a year ahead of schedule and now hopes for 1.5 million users by the end of 2008, by targeting anticipated significant growth in the 15-25 year-old market. M6 operates as an MVNO through a joint venture with Orange France and uses the latter’s mobile network for its service. It launched commercially in early June 2005.
