We anticipate continued strong growth in the overall size of the market. We foresee take-up of broadband connections will be driven by better infrastructure coverage. Furthermore, improved affordability of DSL services will make these available to the middle classes. Broadband ARPU is expected to increase driven by greater household bandwidth consumption and migration to higher connectivity speeds. We expect take-up of IPTV to increase with broadband connections, but remain at a relatively low absolute level.
