Telecom Argentina - SMS Drives Growth as Cellular Continues to Outperform
In its third quarter results for 2008 Telecom Argentina's personal unit recorded its fourth successive year-on-year increase in quarterly average ARPU - an impressive result in a market which now has a penetration rate of 104%. ARPU did not increase sequentially, quarter-on-quarter, but did match the eight-year high of P$42 per month recorded in Q4 2007, up from P$39 in Q3 2007. So what has been behind the trend? It was not voice usage: the 16.8% increase in carried minutes to 2.99bn was almost excactly in line with the 17.5% increase in the size of the customer base over the year, leaving AMPU almost flat at 86 per month in Q3 2008 versus 85 a year earlier. Rather, it was data usage - specifically SMS usage - which has driven the increase in expenditure. Total outgoing message volumes on the personal network in Q3 2008 increased 68% in the year and 41% in the quarter to 4.8bn - an extra 42 messages per customer per month compared to last year, and an extra 35 compared to the previous quarter. more
