Cell C, South Africa’s third mobile operator posted half-year results showing active subscriber figures up 58% from June 2007 to 5.4 million, indicating Cell C is taking market share from its rivals MTN and Vodacom.  The company said that the increase has been largely driven by demand for products such as Woza Weekend which provides subscribers with free call minutes on weekends, and the Hola 7 starter pack, which costs less than USD1.3. CEO Jeffrey Hedberg said that ‘Our new core network has enabled us to effectively manage this increase in our customer base. Had we not migrated to the new core network technology, we would have had to build a network three times its current size’.

Company reported that EBITDA was USD66.97 million. The operator’s total revenue has increased 17% year-on-year to ZAR590 million, while operating profit increased 36% compared to the first half of 2007. Seven years after its launch the company has yet to make  net profit.
