Net revenue continues to grow above inflation (+6.5% YoY) , led by the strong performance of Mobile Service Revenue (MSR) (+9.3 YoY) , driven by the double-digit growth of Postpaid Revenue (+11.4% YoY). Postpaid's strong performance is related to the increase in customer base (+6.6% YoY), both due to migrations from prepaid as well as through the acquisition of new customers, annual price adjustments, and by maintaining postpaid's (ex-M2M) churn in its lowest historical level, 0.97% per month .
Fixed revenue
