Do you how many customes they have in UK?

About 200,000 in UK in Sept 2008, apparently, and then no growth for a few months
- which is presumably why, after rumours for a few weeks, it's been announced that Blyk will cose down as an MVNO here, and the customers will be merged into Orange
Some reports in the last week or two have it that Blyk will still pursue advertising-based deals with other networks, for example Vodafone Netherlands, but it seems these will be as partnerships on their existing deals rather than as a separate mvno
The Blyk website offer already seems a bit different, £15 free credit, rather than a bundle of minutes, presumably to take it in line with Orange's plans. I wonder what will happen about the age limit
