Additional Reconciliations of Non-U.S. GAAP F<strong>in</strong>ancial Measures<br />

(Unaudited)<br />

ARPU is a non-U.S. GAAP f<strong>in</strong>ancial measure.<br />

ARPU is used to measure the average monthly services revenue on a<br />

per subscriber basis. ARPU is calculated as service revenue generated<br />

by subscribers, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g roam<strong>in</strong>g revenue and <strong>in</strong>terconnect revenue,<br />

but exclud<strong>in</strong>g revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and<br />

accessories and other non-service revenue, divided by the average<br />

number of our subscribers for the period and divided by the number<br />

of months <strong>in</strong> that period.<br />

We believe that ARPU provides useful <strong>in</strong>formation to <strong>in</strong>vestors as it<br />

is a ma<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>dicator of the performance of our bus<strong>in</strong>ess operations.<br />

We believe that ARPU provides management with useful <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

concern<strong>in</strong>g usage and acceptance of our services. Non-U.S. GAAP<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial measures should not be viewed separately or as an<br />

alternative to other figures reported under U.S. GAAP. Reconciliation<br />

of ARPU to service revenue and connection fees, the most directly<br />

comparable U.S. GAAP f<strong>in</strong>ancial measures, is presented below.<br />
