Looking forward, the Group will make strong efforts to seize opportunities presented by the popularity of broadband services in emerging markets, as well as offering network upgrades in developed countries. With an emphasis on meeting customer needs, and product research and development, services will be focused on reducing operating costs and alleviating network pressure.
