  • Total revenues increased by 3.7%, as service revenue growth achieved in all the markets more than compensated for slightly lower equipment revenues.

  • Mobile service revenues increased by 8.0% due to the solid performance of the mobile core business, improved roaming results as well as earlier implemented inflation-linked price adjustments.
