An unusual metric of loquacity

[fivemack]

Vodafone publishes details of average revenue per user per month over its rather large user base across the world; converting everything into Euros, we have a measure of some product of wealth and loquaciousness.

The Irish are at the top, followed by the Dutch, Spanish, Maltese, Australian, Brits, Czechs, Greeks, New Zealanders, Portugese, Italians, Hungarians and Germans in that order. I've ignored Albania, Romania, Egypt, Turkey and India because they're clearly enough less wealthy than the EU core that the tariffs must be lower there.

Silent Germans and garrulous Irish are to be expected by the standard prejudices, but I'm surprised how talkative the Dutch are and how quiet the Italians.

Without better breakdown of the figures I don't think we can draw any conclusions from those figures. Specifically I'd want to know whether the revenue differences are due to contract pricing differences, and whether monthly usage exceeds the free minutes thus increasing the revenue.
