I am very pleased that total net additions in TV in Q3 were the highest in more than five years. In IPTV technology, our customer base is up 41% year-on-year. At the same time, we continue to improve the adoption rate in our fibre network. In the first nine months of this year we have already doubled our customer base – and the best period of the year is still in front of us”.
