Line Approaching 300 million Users

Line Corp. of Tokyo said its free messaging and voice calling service now has 280 million users worldwide, and has the largest market share for messaging apps in Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan. It reported revenue of 9.9 billion Japanese yen (100 million US dollars) in the third quarter, primarily from "in-game purchases, sticker purchases and other areas such as official accounts and sponsored stickers." That suggests Line's monthly ARPU is approximately 12 US cents. source: Line statement
