Vodafone chief executive Vittorio Colao said since November 2008 they have seen tangible evidence of accelerating mobile data adoption where consumers and business customers are seizing the benefits of fast, reliable mobile data networks using smartphones and other mobile data devices such as tablets.
"We are also seeing increased interest in broader data-based services like payments via handsets and an initial wave of mobile devices for homes and cars," Colao said.
For the financial year 2011, the company expects adjusted operating profit to be in the range of £11.8bn to £12.2bn and predicts free cash flow to be in excess of £6.5bn.
