Amp'd Mobile ended 2006 with more than 100,000 subscribers, 89 percent of which are on postpaid contracts. Most significantly for the mobile virtual network operator, the company surpassed its own expectations for data revenues and mobile content usage.
Average content and data revenue per user exceeded $30 a month (compared to an industry average of $6.80) and total ARPU exceeded over $100 a month.
Notably, content accounts for nearly 60 percent of the $30 of data ARPU, in contrast to approximately 25% among other carriers. The results are important as a test of MVNO viability, as well as the content-centric strategy for an MVNO, in view of the shuttering of ESPN's MVNO effort.
