We are in a business case right now and need to calculate the Average
Revenue per hour or per day of a telcom company. Usually companies
uses ARPU which is Average Renevue per User, how can we calculate a
Average Renevue per hour. We need to translate that into $ to
determine outage penalties to our client.

Don't you have annual revenue numbers?  If so, simply dividing by 365
should give you a reasonable number for revenue per day.

Let us know if this is over-simplifying things.

Well is not that easy. We need to define that for a given subcriber
base and the subcriber base varies it is not fixed.

It sounds like you have information at hand that you haven't made
available here.  Without knowing what sorts of data you have
available, I can't see a way that I -- or anyone else -- could really
help you out.

If you can give us some more details, perhaps we can help.

If you have ARPU and AMOU (avg minutes of use), you can get to ARPM
(avg revenue per minute). This won't be very exact, but I don't know
if you can get more details. Also, there's no easy way to convert data
services into voice-minute metrics, so the metrics may be skewed over
time.
