Vodafone publishes its quarterly results: now 333 million customers

Vodafone's results for the three-month period ended 31st December 2009 have revealed an increase in group revenue to £11.5 billion and an increase in the proportionate customer base to 333 million mobile users worldwide. Group service revenue increased year-on-year by 11% to £10.7 billion; 'organic' service revenue (which gives more of a direct comparison) fell by 1.2%, which was better than the previous quarter.

In the UK, organic service revenue fell by 4.9% compared with the same quarter in 2008 – although the trend improved compared to the previous quarter as a result of new customers who joined through the launch of new products and indirect distribution channels. The UK's messaging and data revenue growth was helped by unlimited message plans and the growth in mobile internet bundles. These trends were offset by the continued fall in voice revenue that resulted from competitive price reductions and July's termination rate cut.

Motorola invests in mobile barcodes

Motorola Ventures, the investment arm of Motorola, says it's invested in mobile barcode company Scanbuy. Financial details weren't disclosed.

Scanbuy offers advertisers a service called ScanLife to provide digital information to consumers through barcodes. Businesses can place barcodes on their packaging or advertising; consumers who use their camera phones to 'scan' the barcode can then be taken directly to a mobile website or audio/video content. The business can then track and analyse the results, including consumer locations, and can modify the codes to launch different actions.
