Management commentary#

Management emphasized that in fixed broadband via cellular networks, they see continued strong growth and increasing revenue per customer. According to management, gains from AI-driven radio network planning exceeded expectations. Management noted that satellite connectivity is treated as a complementary product, therefore they do not foresee reselling another operator’s satellite services on their network. According to management, the company aims to maintain a balance between the number of customers and their value, focusing on acquiring accounts and translating this into a financial advantage. Management also pointed to a belief in bundling services rather than strictly combining fixed and mobile telephony.
