It reads like this: Increasing mobile ARPU in emerging markets New software provides an answer Competition for new mobile subscribers is fierce. There are now more than 3.1 billion wireless subscribers in the world, and according to an Ovum Mobile Market Trends report, worldwide mobile connections are outpacing population growth. Developed markets are embracing mobile technologies, and have either reached or are nearing 100 percent saturation. Many subscribers in these markets even have multiple devices and networks. This overwhelming market saturation indicates that the time has come for mobile operators to look elsewhere for new customers.

Competition for new mobile subscribers is fierce. There are now more than 3.1 billion wireless subscribers in the world, and according to an Ovum Mobile Market Trends report, worldwide mobile connections are outpacing population growth. Developed markets are embracing mobile technologies, and have either reached or are nearing 100 percent saturation. Many subscribers in these markets even have multiple devices and networks.

In developing countries ( esp in Asia) - The investment in network is also less and so is quality of service. So better metrics should be revenue per minute, cost per minute and capacity utilization.

I have earlier analyzed it from perspective of developing countries – Where I found out
As new customers are added from lower economic strata – ARPU will definately decline

But I agree despite conventional wisdom, Falling ARPU is not cause of concern.
In developing countries ( esp in Asia) – The investment in network is also less and so is quality of service.

So better metrics should be revenue per minute, cost per minute and capacity utilization.
