It is simply an allocation done by operators. Therefore it’s not a big thing when allocated data revenue passes allocated voice revenue, rather a technicality.

Consequently, the first operators have stopped reporting this revenue split since they feel it is misleading. See e.g. Orange Israel: http://www.orange.co.il/PageFiles/57269/PR_Q42012_ENGHEB%20Finalr.pdf
