Skype boosts 3UK revenues, lowers churn

Research by CCS Insight indicated that nearly 80 per cent of 3UK's Skype users were new to the company, and that users of the mobile VoIP service delivered 20 per cent higher revenues and a 14 per cent lower churn rate than its non-Skype users.

3UK has also confirmed that it would not offer free Skype and Windows Live Messenger on the new iPhone, something that it had historically offered to compatible handsets.
