Six months before it was expected to do so, Blyk has exceeded the 100,000 subscriber mark in the UK. If you haven’t heard of Blyk, it’s an MVNO which rents airtime from Orange and utilises Nokia Siemens Networks. In exchange for free minutes and texts, Blyk shows its subscribers advertisements. What this means is that a totally ad-funded service has been reasonably successful. All those naysayers who claimed that no self-respecting user would be interested in receiving free stuff in return for looking at adverts, consider your invitation to Blyk’s party revoked.
