Service revenue growth in the Group’s operations in the Pacific area was impacted by a decrease in New Zealand’s service
revenue due to increased competition and a termination rate cut at the end of the last financial year.

Net addition to quarter ended September 2006: 11,000. Total connections: 2.11 million (76.3% are prepaid accounts).

Thats a Whole lot of prepaid

It is New Zealand's role to send out its bright young men and women to help run the rest of the world. And they go, not hating the country of their birth, but loving it. From this loving base they make their mark on the world.

I would say a reasonable portion of those pre-paid connections are not being used as it takes 12 months for them to disconnect after the last 'top-up' but they have been counted anyway...

I disagree. Vodafone do this at the end of every financial year (Telecom do the same) so it's already been done this year. I recall somebody telling me after they had done it this year there had been something like 30000 disconnections in total this year and around the same last year. That's a pretty small % of their total customer base.

It's interesting to see that the Pacific is still very much a cash cow for Vodafone. I'm sure all the Vodafone employees on here will be looking forward to another big xmas party and bonus they have obviously had a very good year!

In the report it advises only connections are counted that have been used in the last 90 days

I see, that would make it more accurate.
