Telecom Italia Mobile 3G Subscribers Pass 5 Million

Telecom Italia (TI) has released preliminary figures for the first half of 2007 and the operational numbers are typically light on much useful detail. However, they show that domestic mobile unit tim had a 3G customer base of over 5.1m at the end of June, overall customer numbers rising to 34.3m from 33.6m at the end of March. Mobile service revenues increased by 6.5% year on year between Q2 2006 and Q2 2007, the biggest increase recorded in some while, although this statistic excludes "discontinuities" which have impacted the way revenues are accounted for in the last year. The elements accounted for as discontinuities by TI include a change in the way roaming traffic is accounted for (following EU guidelines), a termination rate cut for fixed-to-mobile calls and the so called "Bersani Decree" - a recent piece of government legislation affecting all Italian companies. However unfortunate it may be, domestic and European regulation and legislation is a fact of life for all Europe's telcos. Of course we understand why TI shows us figures excluding "discontinuities" - to demonstrate that the underlying business is performing well - but take out termination and roaming rate cuts and the like and many peers would also have a very much better story to tell. As it was, on an actual basis, stated mobile service revenues at TI fell by 1.3% or €30m year on year from €2.351bn in Q2 2006 to €2.321bn in Q2 2007. more
