I did some homework on XSNI
found this PR from March:
>>
In the seven days from Monday 8th the X-Stream Network showed an amazing 5,489,535 impressions to its UK userbase and next week expects to display even more. <<
is seems that would put X-Stream around 22 million ad impressions for the month, back in March, when their subscriber base was only
265,000.. just over half of the current total.
it would not seem to be too wild a speculation to guess
that X-stream may be closer to 40 million monthly ad impressions by now...
with almost 500K subscribers now.
Any idea what the average charge per ad impression is in the UK?
