Telecom is due to report its customer numbers for the same period on Friday.
IDC Research telecommunications analyst Rosalie Nelson said that until then, and until 2degrees reported more information on its customer numbers, it would be hard to know whether Vodafone had lost ground to its rivals or was simply experiencing the effect of a sluggish market.

NonprayingMantis: yea, by itself it means veyr little.

What should be looked at is the share of market growth.

In other words, if the total market growth was only, say, 10,000 and vodafone added 9,000, then that means XT, 2D etc only added 1,000 between them. A good resutl for Vodafone.

On the other hand if the total market growth was 100,000 and voda only aded 9,000 that means XT, 2D etc added 91,000 bewteen them. Not so good for Vodafone.

This is implied in the article:

Of course, none of this takes into account ARPU. Hypothetically, Voda might lose 30,000 customers who only spend $10 a month, but gain 30,000 who spend $100 a month. No change in customer base, but BIG change in Revenue
