It said its total customer base stood at 2,058,000 by the end of September -- this figure includes 1,079,000 mobile customers.

Mobile revenues for Eircom, which owns Meteor as well as the E-Mobile, were down compared to last year but customer numbers were up.

Eircom chief executive Herb Hribar said the performance of the business "continues to decline, but the decline is slowing".

Earlier this month Eircom announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services to offer cloud services to its Irish and UK-based customers.

Eircom already offers a range of cloud services to its customers, offering data centre services to cloud providers in Ireland, and private infrastructure as a service to other customers.

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
