This was strengthened by the completion of acquisitions in recent months. Worthy of note is the continued increase in the share of income and the number of sales of digital television services. It is not only important for the segment, but it is an important part of total revenues. It is a natural and positive trend of migration of our subscribers from analogue to digital television. We expect that it will continue in the coming quarters.”
