KDDI Slips Slightly

Blaming rising competition in the Japanese market, KDDI reported a year-on-year fall of almost 1% in operating revenues to 869.36 billion yen (9.44 billion US dollars) in the quarter ending September 30.

However, KDDI's mobile data ARPU climbed to 2270 yen (25 US dollars) in the quarter from 2210 in the same quarter of 2008. The operator plans to introduce WiMAX-mobile hybrid devices in the next six months to improve its competitiveness in the mobile data market.

KDDI's capital expenditure in the quarter ending September 30 was 117.35 billion yen, down 14% from the same period in 2008. source: KDDI presentation
