- Which management indices does J:COM target?
- The J:COM Group considers its subscribers to be the main focus of the services it provides. We consider our ability to serve as a one-stop shop for our subscribers by bundling our services at a reasonable price to be our greatest strength. We consider operating revenue, the number of subscribing households, revenue-generating units (number of services provided per subscribing household), ARPU(average monthly revenue per unit) and churn rate to be important measures of management effectiveness.
