Thus, Telekom Romania Mobile Communications overshot, for the first time ever, the threshold of 2 million subscriptions, 12 years from relaunching operations under the Cosmote brand, in December 2005.
Telekom’s revenue from mobile telephony services reached EUR81 million in the fourth quarter, down 2.4% on the year, and EUR326 million for the entire year – an increase of 0.3% compared with a year before. The total number of clients for mobile telephony services fell by 4.5% to 5.722 million, due to an evolution on the segment of pre-paid cards.
Telekom Romania Communications, formerly known as Romtelecom, registered the best results in the last quarter of 2016 as well, on the TV services segment where the number of clients reached 1.464 million, which translates into an increase of 0.8% from the previous year. On the fixed internet segment, the number of clients reported at the end of 2016, of 1.194 million, is higher by 0.7% than a year before, but lower than the number reported in the second and third quarters, of 1.2 million. On the fixed telephony segment, the number of fixed lines reported reached 1.969 million, down 5.8% on the year.
