UKNM: "Good News" UK e-commerce story?

[Tomski]

..I remember someone looking for one a while back

(15,000 online virgin mobile sales a month, at an average of 100UKP per

phone, that's 1.5m UKP online sales in their first month, not including

on-going subscriptions... bet their conversion rate is an order of

magnitude better than boo.com's too, since the site does what it says on

the box - sells phones)

Virgin shortage hits Branson's mobile venture


   Richard Branson's dabble with the mobile phone market is reported to be

suffering from a shortage of

   handsets.


   Virgin Mobile signed up more than 75,000 customers in its first month,

putting it on course to net over

   100,000 phone sales by the end of 1999, and a million in its first year.


   According to Branson, around 20 per cent of sales were online.
