If you want to know how to predict numbers for things that are traditionally thought to be unpredictable I suggest you read a book called Superforecasters- more or less tells you how to do it and the limitations. In essence make predictions, test predictions then refine your methodology.

Think most straightforward method is ARPU*number of users (assume ARPU rises by another $200 next year and number of users rises by 4000/day - but will decay at some stage) for AU. I have no idea re:US
