Germany Mobile Market - Discounters

[Effendi]

In the last days, at the Prepaid Mobile conference in Prague, it was very interesting to listen to a director of Yesss MVNO in Austria. He said that in Germany the MVNOs like Simyo have not a great success due to the internet-based selling and that is their big limit, and good advantage for Aldi and Tchibo which have of course tons of selling points throughout Germany. He said also that in his opinion Aldi has the cheapest rates and no one will go even lower with new offers, so it confirms what Teltarif says, i.e. that in Germany we have reached (almost) the bottom for low-cost tariffs, at least for now and with the actual termination costs.
