Notes:
1. Active customers are based on the total number of mobile customers using any service during the last three months. This includes customers paying a monthly fee that
entitles them to use the service even if they do not actually use the service and those customers who are active while roaming.
2. Total ARPU is calculated by dividing the average monthly service revenue by the average monthly active customers during the period.
