Note: Up until 4Q14, revenues derived from the mobile component of bundles sold by MEO were reported as revenues from Mobile Services. Currently, they are not yet accounted for the individualized revenues of the integrated Mobile Services bundles.
The variations reported in total and unit revenues (especially  quadruple/quintuple-play bundles and mobile services) partly reflect the change in accounting criteria applied to the revenues derived from bundles sold by MEO, following the merger that took place at the end of 2014.
