1) Average monthly revenue per mobile subscription is calculated based on our total revenues from digital mobile telephony subscriptions in Norway, including subscription fees, incoming and outgoing traffic fees, roaming and revenues from value-added services, divided by the average number of digital subscriptions in Norway for the relevant period.
2) Due to a one-time adjustment to reflect a change in the methodology used to estimate traffic revenues, our revenues for 2000 increased by NOK 66 million. As a result, average monthly revenues per digital subscription for this period are not directly comparable with prior periods. Eliminating this one-time adjustment, the average monthly revenue per digital mobile subscription for 2000 would have been NOK 6 lower for prepaid and NOK 3 lower for total digital subscriptions.
3) Includes all subscribers of Canal Digital, a joint venture in which we have a 50% ownership interest.
