| Notes: |
| |
|
|
| 1. |
|
Customer totals are based on the total number of customers registered on Vodacom’s network, which have not been
disconnected, including inactive customers, as at the end of the period indicated. Three month inactive customers were 20.3%
(2008: 19.4%) for Tanzania, 33.1% (2008: 23.1%) for the DRC, and 28.5% (2008: 34.9%) for Mozambique and 13.4%
(2008: 15.7%) for Lesotho as at 31 March 2009. |
| |
|
|
| 2. |
|
Churn is calculated by dividing the annualised number of disconnections during the period by the average monthly total
reported customer base during the period. |
| |
|
|
| 3. |
|
ARPU is calculated by dividing the average monthly revenue (recurring mobile) by the average monthly total reported customer
base during the period. ARPU excludes revenue from equipment sales and other sales and services. With effect from 1 April
2008, ARPU calculations include revenue from national roamers and international visitors roaming on Vodacom’s network.
Historical ARPU numbers have been restated in line with the new methodology. |
