- The company aims to achieve a 1 million subscriber base by March 2017, with strong acquisition pipelines supporting this target (Page 15). - Broadband business shows value-led growth potential, with new high-speed DOCSIS 3.0 internet plans introduced to improve trajectory (Page 8). - Revenues from cable TV and broadband have grown robustly by 45% and 26% respectively in recent quarters, indicating strong sales momentum (Page 8). - Infrastructure leasing income is expected to improve quarter-on-quarter, potentially matching or exceeding last year's revenue by year-end, though it's not the core focus (Page 7). - Digital penetration improvements and new broadcaster deals on Reference Interconnect Offer (RIO) basis are projected to reduce content costs and improve ARPUs, aiding revenue growth (Page 17). - Continued focus on inorganic subscriber acquisitions, expected to enhance profitability over time (Page 14).
