I was bored at work and reading through the different forums of different wireless cell phone carriers and I was going through Cingulars when i came upon a forum talking about the 4th quarter numbers of Cingular in 2005. First off here they are:

Churn; 2.1%, postpaid at 1.9%
1.8 million Net new subscribers in the 4th quarter of 2005
54.1 million Total customers on the Cingular’s network
Voice arpu= $48.86.
Data arpu= $4.71


So now for the questions.

1.) Wat does this all mean? For example wat are/is "churn"; "postpaid (as in contract vs. prepaid?)"; "Voice arpu"; "Data arpu"

2.) Wat were Verizon's Numbers for the 4th quarter of 2005, as I work for them and would like to know more.

3.) How do you compare these number...

1} Churn defines how many people leave the company. It's like churning butter, it separates the chaff. Postpaid is contractual (payment is after the use, not before). ARPU is average revenue per user or the average of how much each customer payed them.

2} here's a link:

3}Here is what is best: Low Churn, High ARPU, High Customer Base, High Adds

4}Gross is the grand total of all gains, but net gain is all gains minus your losses.

5}Either way, it's a dirty hippie.

Hope this helps.
