Data from Wireless World Forum?s ?Malaysian Mobile Market 2006? statistical handbook reveals Malaysian growth will be strongest in the teenage 10-25 age range with just under a million new subscribers in 2005 and in the 50-64 senior age group which grew by over half a million new subscriber in 2005.
Blended ARPU is in decline across the Malaysian operators as they compete for the largest market share of subscribers. Voice ARPU will fall from $14.3 pcm in 2005 to $12.5 pcm in 2007, while rising data usage primarily fuelled by increased messaging revenues will help stem the reduction of blended ARPU from $17.4 pcm in 2005 to $16.0 pcm, a year on year fall of 4.3%.
