Mobile value added service revenue grew by 34.1% because of the increase in mobile internet subscribers. Mobile voice revenue decreased 4.6% due to the market competition and the NCC’s mandated tariff reduction. Broadband access revenue decreased by 7.0 % due to the fiber tariff reduction in mid 2011 and the ADSL tariff reduction starting this year. HiNet service revenue decreased by 8.8% also because of tariff reductions along with the aforementioned fiber and ADSL tariff cuts. MOD revenue increased 38.1% year over year. For traditional fixed line services, local service revenue decreased by 5.2% because of mobile substitution. Domestic long distance service revenue decreased 35.8%, lower than our expectation, mainly due to the tariff reduction starting this year which stimulated the traffic in the mean time. International long distance service revenue decreased 4.6% attributable to market competition. Operating costs and expenses increased 2.0% year over year, mainly attributable to the increase in marketing expense for mobile internet service promotion as well as higher interconnection costs. Moreover, non-operating income decreased by 61.9% due to less construction revenue from our property development subsidiary, resulting a 18.1% decrease in net income.
