Link: Vodafone Group Plc – Final Results.
Over the year, data revenue has increased by 40.6% on an organic basis to £2.2 billion, principally driven by continued strong growth in business email and PC connectivity devices, which in total nearly doubled to 5.8 million.
poco meno del 100% di crescita nei dispositivi mobili dati
We have seen strong take up this year of USB modems, which provide easy to use mobile broadband access for PCs and laptops to consumers and small business customers. For consumers, we also took the opportunity to refresh our mobile internet offerings during the year in eight markets, resulting in 2 million customers signing up to flat rate mobile internet access.
2 milioni di utenti per Internet flat rate ("flat" rate ? ndr)
Our data revenue growth is being enabled by the investment in our 3G networks which now offer up to 3.6 Mbps and by the end of the year will begin to offer 14.4 Mbps which will provide a compelling alternative to fixed broadband for many customers.
Entro fino anno a 14,4Mbps…
In addition, some customers need the data speeds today of fixed broadband and during the year we have established fixed broadband capability in our European markets as part of our strategy to deliver total communications.
Alcuni clienti richiedono le performance oggi della rete fissa (sottolineo "oggi" ndr)
We are substituting fixed line voice services for mobile in the home or the office by offering fixed location pricing plans giving customers fixed line prices when they call from within or around their home or office.
Sostituiamo l’accesso fisso con l’accesso wireless agli stessi prezzi..
I risultati sono buoni, e mi pare che si possa dire che il sostegno alla crescita venga da telefonia ed SMS tradizionali, soprattutto in mercati emergenti e dal traffico dati in Europa.
Un dato mi pare innegabile confrontando l’EBITDA delle diverse aree:
- Pacifico, 25,7%
- Gran Bretagna, 26,4 %
- Europa dell’est, 31,7%
- Spagna, 35,7%
- Medio oriente, Asia e Africa, 37,9%
- Germania, 43,4%
- Italia, 48,7%
Evviva ! siamo il paese che piu’ al mondo contribuisce al margine dell’operatore britannico! un primato !
BTW, Complimenti a Vittorio Colao per l’incarico di A.D. del gruppo a partire da luglio. Classe 1961, bresciano, a capo di un affare da 44,6 miliardi di Euro… Chissa’ se porterà la sede legale a Corsico.. ?
