Easymobile gives up the ghost

Users to make a Fresh start

JUDGING FROM emails sent out to existing UK customers, EasyMobile is closing down and recommending its customers migrate to Carphone Warehouse's Fresh service.

As of midnight on December 13th 2006, UK customers won't be able to use the EasyMobile service any more. The company will fully refund any remaining top up credits, however.

EasyMobile has apparently done a deal with the Carphone Warehouse whereby existing customers can go online and transfer themselves to the latter's Fresh service.

The transfer isn't compulsory, however.

EasyMobile claims that TDC - which ran EasyMobile for the Easy Group, has "decided to withdraw from the UK market."

As the INQ reported over the weekend, Stelios' Easy Group was looking around for a partner to run EasyMobile instead of TDC.

Obviously it approached the Carphone Warehouse to take over the task and then just decided to let its customers join Fresh.

The veiled threats that the Easy Group might sue the pants off TDC are beginning to look more interesting, now.µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
