The recession seems to be hitting Vodafone hard as they announced during the week that they will be cutting some 170 jobs in Ireland. Vodafone, Ireland’s largest mobile operator said that the job loses will be “voluntary”.

Falling average revenue per user (ARPU) are being felt by all providers, as people are being more careful with their money. There has also been a shift of people moving off postpay contract deals with the networks, back onto prepay deals in a bid to save money and more cost efficient.

This “voluntary” redundancies wil take about a month to sort out with staff and unions, with talks expected to start soon.
