Revenue Segmentation
Customer Wise
The biggest challenge in this approach is deciding how to identify
customer needs.
One of the most interesting techniques that help to understand
the true composition of the customer base is to start with
mathematical clustering of customer base by its behavior.
When using this technique in prepaid, cluster the base using the
metrics that are easy to interpret and clearly describe customer
behavior.
As an example: number of outgoing calls, number of incoming
calls, number of outgoing text messages, number of incoming text
messages, number of data sessions, number of megabytes
downloaded, number of outgoing international calls.

Average Revenue per User (ARPU)
1303/22/15
A measure of the revenue generated per user or unit.
Average revenue per unit allows for the analysis of a company's
revenue generation and growth at the per-unit level.
It help investors to identify which products are high or low
revenue-generators.
ARPU measure is most often used in the telecommunications
sector to survey the amount of revenue generated per cell-phone
user.

ARPU -> ARPA
1403/22/15
Recently there have been various industry recommendations to
switch from ARPU, average revenue per user, to ARPA, average
revenue per account.
ARPU is inherently focused on an individual using telecom
services. But device penetration rates exceeding 100% indicate
individual users are carrying multiple devices; each device could
have a different type of plan and different data rates as well.
This complexity can confuse what ARPU means to carriers, hence
the consideration of a switch to ARPA as a primary measure of
unitized revenue.

Tariff Plan Change Report
1803/22/15
The Telecommunication Tariff Order (TTO) 1999, issued by regulator
(TRAI), had begun the process of tariff balancing with a view to bring
them closer to the costs. This supplemented by Calling Party Pay (CPP),
reduction in ADC and the increased competition, has resulted in a
dramatic fall in the tariffs. ADC has been abolished for all calls w.e.f. 1st
October 2008.
The peak National Long Distance tariff for above 1000 km in 2000 has
come down from US$ 0.67 per minute to US$ 0.02 per minute in 2009.
The International Long Distance tariff from US$ 1.36 per minute in 2000
to US$ 0.16 per minute in 2009 for USA, Canada & UK.
The mobile tariff for local calls has reduced from US$0.36 per minute in
1999 to US$ 0.009 - US$ 0.04 per minute in 2009.
The Average Revenue Per User of mobile is between US$ 5.06 - US$ 7.82
per month
