(Telecompaper) The Dutch mobile services market fell in the first quarter to EUR 1.17 billion in revenues, down 4 percent from the year before, according to Telecompaper's latest Dutch Mobile Operators report. Compared to the fourth quarter, revenues fell 5.5 percent. Only Vodafone Netherlands was able to achieve growth in sales and market share. But although the market for mobile services is still shrinking, the decline is slowing. In Q1 2014, the decrease amounted to 10.7 percent from the year before. The impact of regulation on Q1 of this year was less and data services generated more revenue growth. Revenues from voice services fell in Q1 of this year by 9.7 percent from the year earlier. Although revenue from data services grew, they were not able to completely offset the double-digit fall of revenues from SMS services, with total non-voice revenue rising only 3 percent. The market share of non-voice among total mobile services lifted to 48 percent.
