that would be an interesting number to come up with, but i think the calculation would be very tricky. you could take the percentage increase of revenue and the percentage increase of new subs and compare. but how do you take into account existing subs who just used more minutes?

T's wireless ARPU increasing, from Reuters earnings release: But note the caveat, "adjusted to exclude various purchases and sales...", whatever that means. AT&T, the largest U.S. wireless phone company, said its quarterly subscriber additions totaled 269,000, down 17.4 percent from a year ago, due to a shortage of wireless telephone handsets and a slowdown in marketing efforts. AT&T's wireless rival Sprint PCS added 720,000 new customers in its third quarter, nearly three times the amount of subscribers AT&T added. AT&T's wireless revenues, adjusted to exclude various purchases and sales, still jumped 40.9 percent to $1.9 billion as it continued to focus on high-spending customers. Average revenue per unit increased nearly 15 percent to $67.90 a month.
