Operating revenue increased due to the higher mobile data revenue, higher fixed-line subscription revenue and higher equipment sales and the consolidation of BCX, partially offset by the continuous decline in fixed-line voice revenue and lower data connectivity revenue.
Other income increased due to the higher number of Telkom owned sites leased out to other operators.
*The profit on disposal of the excluded items is R282 million (30 September 2014: R53 million; 31 March 2015 R257 million).
