LONDON—Vodafone Group plc has said its average revenue per user has begun to stabilize based on its end-September financial figures.
The operator said its total inactive customer base in its controlled subsidiaries at the end of the third quarter was 10 percent. This comprises contract activity levels of 96 percent and prepaid activity levels of 88 percent compared with 96 percent and 87 percent respectively for levels at 30 June, 2001, showing an improvement in prepaid.
In addition, Vodafone reported that data revenues as a percentage of service revenues for its controlled subsidiaries increased to 9.1 percent as of Sept. 30.
“The continuing stability in ARPU is encouraging, particularly as it is occurring a year before we had anticipated,” said Sir Christopher Gent, chief executive of Vodafone. “The increase in our data indicators confirms we are on track to meet our data revenue targets.”
