(Telecompaper) Comcast will launch a mobile service by mid-2017, as part of its strategy to retain customers, CEO Brian Roberts announced during the Goldman Sachs investor conference, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The CEO declined to offer any further details about the service, including pricing and which phones will be supported.

(Telecompaper) Dutch mobile market slows in Q2 2016, service revenues fall 5.6% The mobile operators in the Netherlands generated EUR 1.2 billion in service revenue in the second quarter of 2016, a decline of 5.6 percent year-on-year, according to the latest research by Telecompaper. After the weaker-than-expected first half of 2016, Telecompaper has downgraded its market outlook for the full year. Telecompaper's 'Dutch Mobile Operators Q2 2016' report shows that of the four mobile operators, T-Mobile performed the worst in terms of revenues, with service revenue falling over 10 percent year-on-year. As a result, its market share dropped to just over 21 percent in Q2 2016. KPN did better than the overall market, with service revenue down just 3.9 percent, helping to strengthen its market lead with a share of over 42 percent. Vodafone also showed a decline in revenues (-5.5%), while its market share was stable at just over 33 percent. Newcomer Tele2 continued to grow its service revenues and increased its market share to 3.5 percent in the second quarter.
