Note: Up until 4Q14, revenues from the mobile component of the bundles marketed by MEO were included in the revenues reported for the Mobile Service. From 1Q15, these revenues have been included in revenues from bundles which include the mobile service.
The variations reported in total revenue and in unit revenues, particularly in terms of triple/quadruple/quintuple-play bundles and for the mobile service, partly reflect the change in accounting criteria for revenues from the mobile component of the bundles marketed by MEO, following the merger which took place at the end of 2014.
