TDC cable base declines but ARPU grows

Danish telco TDC saw its TV revenue-generating unit base decline quarter-on-quarter from 1.41 million to 1.39 million in the three months to March, with growth in its TDC/Fullrate IPTV base from 258,000 to 267,000 failing to offset a decline in its YouSee cable base from 1.152 million to 1.125 million, thanks to the termination of a low ARPU antenna association agreement and churn from both individual customers and antenna associations. 

Cable TV ARPU grew significantly on the other hand, from DKK231 (€30.9) to DKK245, with IPTV ARPU growing from DKK303 to DKK307. Overall TV ARPU grew from DKK244 to DKK257.

TDC’s VoD base brew from 2.238 million to 3.009 million.
