The problem with this number is that to me it conveys even less meaning than it purports to do. I can understand that the network is happy with the achievement, and truth be told it is an achievement of sorts.

But if we are to put the performance of this industry into a larger national perspective, are these numbers that great?

It reminds me of a student who came to me complaining bitterly. How could I give him 9% in the exam, when he distinctly remembers putting in so much effort, and feeling that he had aced the paper?

So perhaps we should mark this paper now and see what marks we, the professionals, give it!

Subject: Re: [LUG] MTN's 1 Million

I think this is a reasonable basis for calculation.

In other operations it is 90 days. Remember also that
before the number change, if they where to count all
those who have bought MTN cell packs, it would have
been about two million (077/078).

This might not give an accurate number, as real value
comes from monthly ARPU.

ARPU - Average revenue per User has nothing to do with the number of
subscribers, as at the number change at the beginning of the year, the 078 range was about to run out, so in effect 2 million lines had been sold.
