In March, mobile communications business revenue remained flat

by the growth of mobile internet subscriber base. The growth was
offset by the decrease of mobile voice revenue because of VoIP substitution
and the decrease of smart device sales.
Broadband access revenue slightly decreased and data communications
revenue increased 5.3% year-over-year. ICT project revenue continued
to increase. Additionally, local revenue decreased because of mobile and
VoIP substitution.
Operating costs and expenses in March decreased year-over-year mainly
due to lower cost of goods sold, interconnection expenses and
depreciation expenses, which offset the increase of ICT project costs.
