Due to the large volume and diversity of the Group's customer base, there are no concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables. Receivables on associated companies in 2005 and 2004 were primarily related to One and Glocalnet.

1) Costs for connection limited to the deferred connection revenues, are deferred over the estimated customer relationship. Deferred costs for connection are classified as current as they relate to the Group’s normal operating cycle.
2) For prepaid leases that are amortized, see note 15.
