Segment information      
The Telkom Group is organised into business units based on products and services and has two reportable segments, namely:      
i) Telkom which provides fixed-line access, fixed-line usage, data communications services (through Telkom and Cybernest), mobile voice services and handset sales.      
ii) BCX which provides business solutions based on information and communication technology and runs ICT systems and manages products, services and solutions.      
The Executive Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of operating profit.      
The group announced its aspiration to implement a more flexible and agile operating model and lauched Openserve on 13 October 2015 (refer note 26) which will require a reassessment of segment reporting as progress is made in implementing the new operating and reporting model to manage performance.
