Info

ish markets a variety of specialized programming packages to its general subscriber base in North Rhine-Westphalia under the “ish Digital TV” brand. Packages offered include ish Music, a package of music and music-related programming; ish Family, a package of general interest programming; ish Active, a package of sports-related programming; ish Private, a package of adult programming; and ish Lifestyle, a package of alternative lifestyle programming. In addition, ish markets pay-per-view services provided by arrivo, a subsidiary of UnitedGlobalCom, Inc., under the “ish Kino” brand. Programming available under ish Kino includes Hollywood blockbuster films and adult movies (xotix), which can be purchased by customers on a pay-per-view basis either by calling an ish customer service representative or by sending a mobile phone text message to ish’s service center. To access ish’s premium cable television packages, customers subscribe to these services separately and receive the appropriate smart card, which ish provides to its customers. ish’s subscribers may also subscribe for premium cable television programming from Premiere. Premiere customers must contact Premiere directly to subscribe to its services. Premiere notifies MSG about new subscribers and requests that they send a smart card to the customer and activate the relevant account. Technically, ish distributes a majority of its premium cable television programming itself through its own NOC. ish uses MSG’s services for its distribution of Premiere’s premium cable television offerings, for its smart card capabilities for ish Digital TV and for certain other limited services for ish’s customers that are not connected to the NOC. See “—Supply— Other significant supply agreements—MSG.” In the near future, ish plans to improve its premium cable television programming by adding further channels. Recently added channels include HD1 (high definition TV), The History Channel, 1-2-3.TV, tv.gusto and MEZZO TV. ish’s Premium Cable Television Subscription Fees Customers who subscribe to any of ish’s premium cable television packages pay a monthly access fee of €2 that is incremental to its basic cable subscription fees. Monthly household subscription fees for ish’s various premium cable television packages range from €0.95 to €17.95, depending on the package, as illustrated by the following tables: ish Digital TV Packages 174 Subscription fees per month (in €, including VAT) ish Music 3.00 ish Family 4.50 ish Active 3.50 ish Lifestyle 4.50 ish Premium 12.50 ish Private 5.00 “a la carte” (1) 1.00-3.00 (1) All ish Digital TV channels are offered individually except for The History Channel. ish Kino Charge per movie (in €, including VAT) arrivo 3.00 xotix 3.90 ish International TV Packages Subscription fees per month (in €, including VAT) ish Türkei Basis (Turkish) 4.95 ish Türkei Premium (Turkish) 17.95 ish Türk Professional (Turkish) (1) 79.95 ish Spanien Portugal (Spanish and Portuguese) 2.45 ish Italien (Italian) 2.45 ish Russland (Russian) 9.95 ish Polen (Polish) 4.00 ish Griechenland (Greek) 0.95 ish International Premium (2) 16.95 (1) For business users such as cafes and bars. (2) All foreign-language programming except Turkish Premium Channels, LigTV and Sinematürk.
Customers who subscribe to Premiere’s premium cable television packages must pay a subscription fee directly to Premiere. This fee is in addition to the basic cable subscription fees paid by customers to ish. Total revenues generated by ish’s premium cable television services (including subscription fees, installation fees and carriage fees) for the year ended December 31, 2004 were approximately €2.7 million or approximately 0.6% of its total revenues and €1.5 million, or 1.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005. ish’s Premium Cable Television Carriage Fees ish currently distributes Premiere’s premium cable television packages through its arrangement with MSG. Pursuant to this arrangement, MSG charges Premiere an annual carriage fee covering encryption and distribution by MSG as well as the carriage of its content over the digital channels on ish’s network and the networks of <strong>iesy</strong>, KBW, and KDG. MSG retains 15.0% of the carriage fees from Premiere, while the balance from these carriage fees and the associated costs are allocated among <strong>iesy</strong>, KBW, KDG, and ish based upon each operator’s respective number of digitally reachable subscribers. ish’s Programming Content and Payments ish licenses its premium cable television programming directly from broadcasters and from third party content providers. In case of its foreign-language programming packages, ish procures content via Mediapool, which aggregates and procures supply on behalf of all Level 3 operators. ish procures the content for its other premium cable television offerings directly from broadcasters and procures its pay-per-view content from arrivo. ish pays a fixed amount per subscriber to these content providers. Pursuant to its agreement with arrivo, ish pays a minimum sum. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, total content fees paid by ish amounted to €0.8 million, and €4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. High Speed Internet As of December 31, 2004, ish served approximately 16,000 high speed Internet subscribers, and approximately 19,000 as of March 31, 2005. In 2004, ish repackaged its high speed Internet services to the market (initially, ish only targeted individuals with high bandwidth demands) and it now offers three high speed Internet packages. ish Internet flat is a lower speed offering of 256 kbit/s designed to encourage Internet users to upgrade from dial-up access. It is provided at a monthly flat rate of €19.90 (or €24.90 if bundled telephony with access). ish Internet flat plus, ish’s original Internet product, provides access at a higher speed of 2 Mbit/s. It is provided at a monthly rate of €44.90 (or €49.90 if bundled with telephony access). On September 30, 2004, ish launched “ish Internet flat pro,” a service that offers speeds up to 5 Mbit/s downstream and 512 kbit/s upstream. It is provided at a monthly flat rate of €74.90 (or €79.90 if bundled with telephony access). All prices include a high speed multimedia terminal adaptor (MTA). These monthly fees include VAT, but exclude periodic discounts offered by ish for promotional purposes. In addition to monthly subscription fees, subscribers may pay an installation fee upon subscribing to ish’s high speed Internet services. ish’s high speed Internet operations generated €5.3 million (1.2%) of its total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004. ARPU for high speed Internet for the year ended December 31, 2004 was €33.07, and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was €28.97. In early 2002, ish completed the upgrade of 1.1 million homes to a bi-directional capability. In 2004, ish completed an upgrade of an additional 200,000 homes passed in the Bonn and Neuss area. The following chart shows the various high speed Internet packages available to subscribers in the North Rhine- Westphalia region, including fees which will go into effect in the third quarter of 2005. 175 ish Internet (1) Flat flat plus flat pro Downstream (kbit/s) 256 2,048 5,120 Upstream (kbit/s) 128 512 512 Total monthly high speed Internet tariff € 19.90 € 34.90 € 59.90 Bundled telephony access (2) € 5.00 € 5.00 € 5.00 Total bundled access € 24.90 € 39.90 € 64.90 (1) All prices exclude occasional discounts and include VAT and the cost of the required analog television subscription.
