The above two offset the 7.0% decrease in mobile voice revenue attributed to the market competition and the NCC's mandated tariff reduction.

HiNet ISP service revenue decreased by 1.3% also because of tariff reductions along with the aforementioned ADSL tariff cuts. MOD revenue increased 18.3% year over year attributed to the growth in subscribers and the subscription of packages. For traditional fixed line services, local service revenue decreased by 4.7% because of mobile substitution. Domestic long distance service revenue decreased 35.7% mainly due to the tariff reduction starting in the beginning of 2012. Additionally, revenue from the completion of some ICT projects also contributed the total revenue increase. Operating costs and expenses decreased year-over-year, mainly due to the increase in costs of goods sold because of the hot selling of smartphones and ICT project costs.
