UPC Nederland is set to stop operating as a virtual mobile network operator in Holland on June 30th. About 40,000 customers of their pre-paid service will be affected, which will be transferred to T-Mobile on the next day.
The withdrawal from the market as an MNVO was sparked by the integration of the former Orange network into T-Mobile. UPC said they will keep its options open for future launches of mobile products and services.
For the record, UPC Nederland had over 100,000 users at its height.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
