Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/018352/4q_2008_netherland)
has announced the addition of IE Market Research Corp.'s new report
"4Q 2008 Netherlands Mobile Operator Forecast, 2008 - 2010" to their
offering.

"The 4Q08 Mobile Operator Forecasts demonstrate IEMR's capability
to gather information from a variety of global resources and model it
into accurate and timely forecasts for our clients," said Nizar
Assanie, Vice President of Research at IEMR. "Clients will find the
information easily accessible, comprehensive, and exceptionally
relevant to enable them to make sound business and investment
decisions about mobile operators and vendors strategies".

IEMR's Netherlands Mobile Operator Forecast covers up to 65
financial and operational metrics on five wireless operators. Notable
highlights of the 4Q08 Netherlands Mobile Operator Forecast include:

-The subscriber base in the Netherlands will not increase as fast
as in other European countries. The number of total subscribers will
increase from our projected 18.4 million in 2008 to a forecasted 19.0
million in 2010 (unchanged from our previous forecast).

-We are now forecasting that the largest operator, KPN Mobile,
will increase its market share slightly over the forecast period from
a projected 50.9% in 2008 to a forecasted 51.5% in 2010. During the
same period, the market share of Vodafone will decrease slightly from
22.3% to 22.1% and that of Ben (T-Mobile) will decrease from 26.7% to
26.4%.

-KPN Mobile will continue to enjoy the highest EBITDA margin in
the Netherlands's operator space. Our models are predicting EBITDA
margins of 42.6% for KPN, 33.9% for Vodafone, and 22.7% for Ben
(T-Mobile) in 2010 (unchanged from previous forecast).

IEMR's Global Mobile Operator Forecast covers up to 65 operational
metrics of 213 mobile operators in 50+ countries, making up 80% of the
world's population. Forecasts are based on our proprietary,
country-specific forecasting models. These models deploy multiple
regression analysis and cross-impact matrices that estimate
relationships between subscriber data, technology use and deployment
data, overall economic and demographic changes expected in a
particular country; and relate these to company operational and
financial metrics.
