Note (1): Up until 4Q14, revenues from the mobile component of bundles marketed by MEO were included in revenues reported for Mobile Services. Separable revenues of Mobile Services included in bundles are not currently counted
The variations reported in total and unit revenues, especially in quadruple/quintuple-play bundles and mobile services, partly reflect the change in accounting criteria for revenues from the mobile component of bundles sold by MEO following the merger occurring at the end of 2014.
Note (2): As from 2Q16, Standalone FTS revenues include “other revenues”. Following this change in criteria, for this indicator, the values reported this quarter are not comparable with values reported in previous quarters.
