Revenues at Israeli satellite operator Yes increased by 4.2% in the third quarter to NIS375 million. The increase in revenue came from a 2.7% year-on-year increase in ARPU to NIS226.
EBITDA climbed from NIS 62 million to NIS 111 million, though last year’s results were impacted by the alleged spy ship interference problems that resulted in a temporary disruption to services.
