(Telecompaper) Mobile Vikings will stop offering services in the Netherlands by the end of the year. No explanations have been given. Customers have been informed of the decision. On its website, the company said that all Sim cards and all Vikings Account would be deactivated from 1 December. These will remain in use until 30 November, as will all call credit and discounts. A spokesman for the Belgian MVNO told Zdnet that competition was difficult for providers of prepaid telecom services, in a market dominated by subscription-based deals. Mobile Vikings offers prepaid deals focused on data. The company added that it could not really make a profit from data roaming in the Netherlands and that its network speed was too low. The MVNO launched services in the Netherlands in December 2012, providing prepaid bundles with a focus on mobile data. Mobile Vikings has around 4500 customers in the Netherlands, according to Telecompaper.
