"Our FTTH network achieved 31.0 million homes passed (+6.4% YoY)..."
Fiber to the home (FTTH) is a broadband delivery method that runs optical fiber directly from a network to individual residences, replacing slower copper or wireless links. Like replacing a narrow water pipe with a wide one, it provides much faster, more reliable internet and supports higher data use. Investors care because FTTH requires large upfront investment but can create stable recurring revenue, long-term customer lock-in, and a competitive edge in regions with growing data demand.
An international accounting rule that requires companies to record most leases on their balance sheet as assets and matching obligations, rather than keeping them off the books. Think of it like treating a long-term rental of a car as if the company owned it for accounting purposes; this makes a company’s assets, liabilities and reported profits more transparent so investors can better compare financial strength, debt levels and cash flow trends across businesses.
5gtechnical
"Investments were mainly directed to the strengthening of our 5G network..."
5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology that provides faster internet connections, lower latency, and greater capacity than previous networks. It enables quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and more reliable connections for devices. For investors, 5G represents a significant upgrade in technology infrastructure that can drive growth in related industries such as smartphones, smart cities, and the Internet of Things.
