What are PDPs?

PDP in telecom stands for Packet Data Protocol. Wikipedia has a nice entry for it.

But what if someone uses PDP with a number; like, "Vodafone has an average of 1 million PDPs"? What they actually mean is 1 million PDP contexts; or in simple words: 1 million devices accessing data.
