Preface

Dear Readers,

This section provides information about how the data for the Telecom Monitor is collected and aboutthe basis for data collection and statistical analyses.

Communications Survey Ordinance (KEV)

Under the Communications Survey Ordinance (KEV, Federal Law Gazette II No. 365/2004), which wentinto effect on October 10, 2004, the Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommuni -cations (RTR) is required to carry out statistical surveys and data analyses on a quarterly basis. Thedata collected is to be made available to the public in such a way that information on specific compa-nies can not be deduced. The ordinance essentially pursues two objectives: First, the quarterly collection and publication of keymarket indicators is meant to increase the efficiency of RTR's monitoring process in order to maintainthe authority's transparent, forward-looking and competition-oriented regulatory approach for allmarket participants (companies and consumers) as a means of promoting and ensuring growth,investment and innovation in the sector. Second, these activities serve to inform the interested publicabout the development of the telecommunications markets with current market data. In addition, RTRmakes the KEV data available to Statistics Austria.

Data collection

In order to minimize expenses for the operators, RTR has defined the sample based on Art. 4 Par. 1KEV in such a way that, on the basis of the overall population from the most recent market analyses,a minimum market share of 90% is covered in each cluster (fixed-link, mobile communications, leasedlines and broadband), thus ensuring a representative view of the market situation. RTR then uses thissample as a basis for extrapolation regarding the overall population.

Statistical evaluations and data values

In line with its publishing obligation under Art. 7 Par. 2 KEV, RTR reports the statistics explicitlymentioned in that provision separately for the fixed-link network, mobile communications, leasedlines and broadband using a cluster approach. Due to occasional post-hoc data corrections, the valuesin the charts presented here may differ slightly from the information provided in earlier issues of theTelecom Monitor. Where major deviations (> 5%) arise in individual data values, a comment to thiseffect is provided for the figure in question.

The chart above shows fixed-link penetration rates among households and businesses.

The higher penetration rate among businesses is explained by the fact that companies each generallyhave a larger number of fixed-link lines, meaning that this figure is not directly comparable to thepenetration rate for households.

n For approximately two years now, the penetration rate among households has remained at a constant level; this rate came to 57% in Q2 2009.

n After a sharp decline between Q4 2008 and Q1 2009, the penetration rate for business customers remained roughly at the same level as in the previous quarter, coming to 207% in Q2 2009.

Retail revenues from access services include periodic base fees and setup charges.

Base fees refer to revenues which are earned periodically and do not depend on the actual use of the subscriber line.

Setup charges for subscriber lines include revenues generated by the setup, transfer and disconnection ofsubscriber lines for voice telephony.

n Compared to the previous quarter, retail revenues from access services declined very slightly in both the residential and business segments (approximately -2% for residential customers and -1%for business customers).

n The share of overall revenues which can be attributed to the business segment came to approximately 36% in Q2 2009. At the same time, the business segment accounted for 23% of the overall number of fixed-link lines.

Retail revenues from carrier services are based on call minutes.

The revenues shown above include retail fees charged by operators for calls to the domestic fixed-link network, domestic mobile networks, international destinations, online services and service numbers.

The corresponding wholesale revenues are not included in these figures.

n The steady decline in retail revenues from carrier services provided for business customers over the entire time series also continued in Q2 2009. Compared to the previous quarter, revenues dropped by approximately 7.4%.

n In the residential segment, revenues from carrier services again decreased after a brief seasonal increase in Q4 2008; these revenues came to a total of EUR 52.5 million.

This chart shows the overall number of fixed-link lines, regardless of the underlying infrastructure (e.g., own or unbundled copper-wire pairs, coaxial cable, leased lines, fiber). These figures assign equalweight to POTS (plain old telephone service), ISDN and multi-ISDN lines.

n The number of lines in the fixed-link network remained relatively stable in both the residential and business segment in Q2 2009. For several quarters now, the decline in fixed-link lines appearsto have slowed due to offers of various products bundled with fixed-link lines at a more favorableprice (e.g. Telekom Austria's Kombi package).

n Specifically, the number of residential lines dropped by approximately 1% between Q1 and Q2 2009, while the figure remained at the same level among business customers.

Revenues are generated in this area when a network operator routes a call from an external network to asubscriber connected to its own network. The service of termination is not provided for (or charged to) retailcustomers, but for other network operators at the wholesale level.

n Fixed-link termination revenues are subject to fairly large seasonal fluctuations. This trend continued in Q2 2009.

n At the same time, fixed-link termination revenues reached a historical low of approximately EUR 15.2 million.

Geographical numbers refer to domestic telephone numbers which serve the purpose of addressing fixed physical network termination points (generally fixed-link lines) assigned to local networks, as well as providing public telephone services in fixed-link networks.

As more than one number may be assigned to a single line, the number of geographical numbers is notidentical to the number of fixed-link subscriber lines.

n After decreasing steadily until Q3 2008, the number of geographical numbers in use has remainedat approximately the same level in the last three quarters.

n In Q2 2009, some 2.9 million geographical numbers were in use in Austria.

Location-independent fixed-link telephone numbers in the (0)720 range refer to domestic numbers whichserve to address subscribers for services that enable them to retain their telephone number regardless oftheir location.

Services offered in addition to public telephone services are also permitted in this range.

Telephone numbers in the (0)780 range are intended for convergent services. An ENUM entry is compulsoryfor each number in this range. The ENUM system makes it possible to assign telephone numbers to uniqueInternet domain names.

n The use of location-independent fixed-link numbers and numbers for convergent services has shown rapid growth in the past, and this trend continued after a slight decline in the first half of 2008.

n In Q2 2009, numbers in use in the (0)720 and (0)780 ranges rose by approximately 3.5% and 2.9% (respectively) compared to the previous quarter.

Number porting allows retail customers to retain their telephone numbers when they switch communications service providers.

This means that customers can keep their original geographical telephone numbers (within the same local area code) when they switch to a new service provider.

The chart above shows the total number of geographical numbers and service numbers ported (which is not equal to the total number of porting procedures).

n The total number of geographical numbers ported declined slightly in Q2 2009, dropping to 196,800.

n The number of service numbers ported, on the other hand, showed a more pronounced decreasecompared to the previous quarter (-27.8%). The reason for this sharp decline was the withdrawalof one service provider from this business area.

Retail leased lines are those which are not provided for communications network operators or communications service providers (i.e., holders of general licensing approvals).

With regard to data transmission rates, a distinction is drawn between leased lines with a capacity of 2 Mbit/s or less and those with a capacity exceeding 2 Mbit/s.

n Since Q3 2008, a substantial increase in the number of leased lines with bandwidths exceeding2 Mbit/s has been observed. This trend is also visible in the figure for Q2 2009. In the last year, the number of lines of this type has increased by nearly 40% to a total of 1,800.

n On the other hand, the slight downward trend in the number of retail leased lines with a capacity of less than 2 Mbit/s also persisted in Q2 2009. For the first time, this figure dropped below 30,000.

As in the figure on page 15 ("Number of retail leased lines in Austria"), a distinction between data transmission rates of 2 Mbit/s or less and rates exceeding 2 Mbit/s is also drawn in this context.

n In line with the number of retail leased lines with a capacity of 2 Mbit/s or less, the correspondingrevenues have declined steadily since Q3 2008. Revenues from this type of retail leased lines came to approximately EUR 12.2 million.

n As for retail leased lines with a capacity exceeding 2 Mbit/s, revenues also continued to decline after an extraordinarily sharp increase in Q4 2008, coming to EUR 6.3 million in Q2 2009. Coupled with the increasing number of lines, this development indicates price reductions in retail leased lines with a capacity exceeding 2 Mbit/s.

n The fluctuations in revenues from retail leased lines with a capacity exceeding 2 Mbit/s can mainly be attributed to the sale of leased lines in project-based business (e.g., due to annual settlement or one-off payments at the start of a contract).

Wholesale leased lines are those which are provided only for communications network operators or communications service providers (i.e., holders of general licensing approvals). The chart above shows the total revenues from wholesale leased lines broken down into lines with a capacity of 2 Mbit/s or less and lines with a capacity exceeding 2 Mbit/s.

n The time series for wholesale leased lines over the last two years do not point to a clear trend in either bandwidth category.

n In Q2 2009, revenues from wholesale leased lines with a capacity of 2 Mbit/s or less came to approximately EUR 33.6 million, while revenues from lines with a capacity exceeding 2 Mbit/s totaled EUR 6.4 million.

The mobile penetration rate is calculated as the number of activated SIM cards divided by the country'spopulation.

n In October 2008, the average mobile penetration rate for the EU-27 stood at 119% (source: 14th

Implementation Report of the European Commission); Austria had already reached that level in Q1 2008.

n In Q2 2009, the level of mobile penetration in Austria came to 133%. A marked increase can be observed over the entire observation period, with the most significant growth recorded between Q3 and Q4 2008.

n In the last year, the mobile penetration rate has climbed by 11 percentage points. Despite this high level of penetration, no signs of "saturation" have been observed to date.

The total revenues from mobile communications shown in the chart above include revenues at both thewholesale and retail levels.

Wholesale revenues: Revenues from termination, origination, international roaming, national roaming andthe sale of airtime to resellers.

Retail revenues: Revenues from connection charges for voice calls, periodic base fees, activation fees, textmessaging fees, fees for data services and value-added data services, compensation for special coverageobligations and fees pursuant to the Telecommunications Fee Subsidies Act, and miscellaneous fees.

n In Q2 2009, revenues from mobile communications came to approximately EUR 824 million, down 1% from the previous quarter.

n This decline can be attributed to reductions in termination fees and to decreasing revenues from international roaming, among other things.

The chart above provides an overview of technically measured call minutes in mobile networks. These minutes refer to the actual duration of mobile calls made by retail customers.

In contrast, billed call minutes refer to the number of minutes actually charged to retail customers.

The main factors accounting for the difference between these two figures are the number of free minutesincluded in the periodic base fee and the pulse rate used for calls. This difference can be especially large in cases where flat rate packages are offered. The chart above includes voice services only (i.e., withoutdata services, video telephony, etc.).

n Over the entire observation period, we can identify cyclical fluctuations with a substantial increase in the fourth quarter of each year. These fluctuations clearly point to increased demand for communications services at the end of the year.

n Like the corresponding revenues, these seasonal fluctuations also continued in Q2 2009, leading to a slight decrease (-1%) compared to the previous quarter.

n However, we can also observe a general upward trend in call minutes, and this development can probably be attributed to the free minutes included in many rate packages.

The chart above shows the number of SIM cards activated and in use, broken down into 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS) cards.

The number of SIM cards in use is not necessarily the same as the number of subscriber numbers in use, as multiple numbers may be assigned to one SIM card; conversely, multiple SIM cards may also be assigned the same number.

n The ratio between the number of 2G-compatible and 3G-compatible SIM cards continues to shift toward 3G cards. By Q2 2009, the share of 3G-compatible cards in the overall number of SIM cards had already risen to approximately 35%.

n The number of 2G-compatible SIM cards remained at nearly the same level compared to the previous quarter, dropping only -0.7%.

n The total number of SIM cards in use also remained roughly the same in Q2 2009, with an increase of approximately 1% compared to the previous quarter.

The chart above shows the percentages of subscriber numbers in use which can be attributed to contractcustomers and to prepaid customers, as well as the total number of mobile numbers in use.

Additional values can be found in the Appendix (see page 43).

n The number of contract customers is substantially higher than the number of prepaid customers in Austria, and the ratio between these figures is increasingly shifting in favor of contract customers. This can be attributed to the fact that providers are offering more and more contracts with prepaid characteristics (i.e., without base fees or minimum volumes).

n By Q2 2009, the share of contract customers in the overall number of subscriber numbers in use had nearly reached 69%.

n Overall, the number of subscriber numbers in use continued to climb, reaching approximately 11.2 million in Q2 2009.

The chart above shows the total number of mobile numbers which have been ported (number of imports)since mobile number portability (MNP) was introduced in October 2004.

n The total number of ported mobile numbers has continued to increase steadily, exceeding500,000 numbers for the first time in Q2 2009.

n The share of ported mobile numbers in the overall number of mobile numbers was just under 5% in Q2 2009. Throughout the EU, this figure came to 10.3% of mobile numbers in October 2008 (source: 14th Implementation Report of the European Commission). This difference can be put down to the fact that mobile number porting was introduced relatively late in Austria compared to other EU countries.

Fixed-link network: Call minutes to the domestic fixed-link network, domestic mobile networks, international destinations, service numbers and directory assistance services as well as online services.


n In line with the revenues from fixed-link and mobile communications, the corresponding numbers of call minutes also declined in Q2 2009.

n The share of fixed-link minutes has continued to decline; excluding online services, this figure only came to some 23% of overall call minutes.

n Call minutes to online services now play only a negligent role (1% of total minutes in Q2 2009). This can be attributed to rapid growth in the number of broadband connections in Austria.

n In mobile communications, the number of call minutes came to some 5.25 billion in Q2 2009, down 1% from the previous quarter.

n The total number of call minutes is subject to seasonal fluctuations. In Q2 2009, a total of 6.86 billion call minutes were registered in Austria's fixed-link and mobile networks.

The chart above shows the total number of fixed broadband connections in Austria (regardless of the technology used for the connections). In this context, fixed broadband connections include those with adownload rate of at least 144 kbit/s realized using copper-wire pairs in the Telekom Austria network,unbundled lines, coaxial cable, FWA (fixed wireless access, e.g., W-LAN, WiFi and WLL for "fixed" access,not at hot spots) and other infrastructure.

Broadband Internet connections based on mobile technology (UMTS) are not included in the values shownhere.

n In recent years, the broadband market has seen substantial growth. In Q4 2008, there were already some 114 million fixed broadband connections throughout the EU (source: 14th Implementation Report of the European Commission). International comparisons usually only include fixed broadband connections.

n In Austria, the total number of fixed broadband connections came to 1.824 million in Q2 2009, thuscontinuing the trend of steady growth in this segment. In the last year, the number of connections has climbed by 8%.

n The significant jumps in the number of connections around the beginning of each year can largely be attributed to major holiday promotions launched by the operators.

Q22009

The number of retail broadband connections includes all connections which offer a download bandwidth of more than 144 kbit/s. The number of mobile broadband connections refers to the number of mobilecommunications contracts which include a data transfer volume of at least 250 MB per month.

The chart above provides a breakdown according to the infrastructure used: copper-wire pairs in theTelekom Austria network (subdivided into Telekom Austria's retail broadband connections and broadbandconnections implemented through bitstreaming), unbundled lines, coaxial cable, FWA (fixed wirelessaccess, e.g., W-LAN, WiFi and WLL for "fixed" access, not at hot spots), mobile broadband connections andother infrastructure, that is, leased lines, FTTH (fiber to the home), PLC (broadband via power lines) andsatellite broadband connections.


n DSL connections and mobile broadband connections continued to grow in Q2 2009. In total, approximately two million broadband connections have been realized using these two types of infrastructure.

n The slight decrease in the number of unbundled lines which was first observed in Q1 2009 also continued in the second quarter (-2.6% compared to the previous quarter).

n Since the end of 2008, the number of retail broadband connections realized via coaxial cable has remained approximately the same (approximately 550,000 in Q2 2009).

The chart above shows the number of wholesale broadband connections made available to other communications service providers in wholesale offers. In contrast to the market definition in the TKMV2008, the figures shown do not include self-provided services.

The figures are broken down by infrastructure into bitstreaming in the Telekom Austria network, on unbundled lines and in coaxial networks (open access).

n Bitstreaming connections using unbundled lines saw a slight increase in Q2 2009, while the gradual decrease in the number of wholesale connections via coaxial cable persisted.

n Overall, the number of wholesale broadband connections remained at roughly the same level as in the previous quarter (approximately 81,000).

The chart above shows the revenues generated by fixed retail and wholesale broadband connections in Austria.

Retail revenues represent the total of ongoing monthly charges, volume-based charges for data transfervolumes and miscellaneous revenues in the retail segment.

Wholesale broadband revenues refer to the total of one-off setup charges, ongoing monthly charges forATM connections, ongoing monthly charges based on retail customers, data volume charges and otherrevenues generated in connection with wholesale offers.

Broadband Internet connections based on mobile technology (UMTS) are not included in the chart.

n Since Q1 2008, a continuous decline has been observed in the retail broadband segment. Specifically, revenues decreased 13.2% during this period.

n Revenues on the wholesale market came to approximately EUR 4.7 million (up 14.6% on the previous quarter).

n Once again, declining revenues have been observed in connection with an increasing number of connections, which points to substantial price reductions. These reductions can largely be explained by competitive pressure from mobile broadband services.

n The clear differences between the two categories shown above can be attributed in part to the large share of broadband connections in vertically integrated enterprises.
