Analysing costs for 2012, it can be observed that the heavier costs, in the whole of costs ([BCI] [ECI]), correspond to “direct costs of network-oriented activities”, and that, among them, the most significant costs are those related to “specific telecommunication equipment/networks”, representing [BCI] [ECI] of total costs.

Breaking down costs related to “specific telecommunication equipment/networks”, it is observed that the main component of these costs concerns DTT equipment (vide Table 21) which represent around [BCI] [ECI] of total costs, the second most relevant item being staff costs (with a weight by [BCI] [ECI] of total costs).

As regards staff costs associated to specific telecommunication equipment/networks (which have a significant weight in the scope of direct costs related to “specific telecommunication equipment/networks”), it is not possible to replicate the amount of [BCI] [ECI] Euros entered in the CAS with detailed data submitted by MEO, having been obtained a cost, 14% higher than the preceding one, amounting to [BCI] [ECI] Euros, on the basis of detailed information on staff costs, and taking into account staff costs associated to the description “Broadcasting equipment - DTT”.
