_______________

(a)
Subscription revenue includes amounts received from subscribers for ongoing services, excluding installation fees and late fees. Subscription revenue from subscribers who purchase bundled services at a discounted rate is generally allocated proportionally to each service based on the standalone price for each individual service. As a result, changes in the standalone pricing of our cable and mobile products or the composition of bundles can contribute to changes in our product revenue categories from period to period.

(b)
Mobile subscription revenue excludes mobile interconnect revenue of $53.1 million and $63.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $107.5 million and $123.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Mobile interconnect revenue and revenue from mobile handset sales are included in other revenue.

(c)
B2B revenue includes revenue from business broadband internet, video, voice, mobile and data services offered to medium to large enterprises and, on a wholesale basis, to other operators. We also provide services to certain small office and home office (SOHO) subscribers. SOHO subscribers pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony or mobile services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. Revenue from SOHO subscribers, which aggregated $71.9 million and $55.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $138.5 million and $107.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included in cable subscription revenue.

(d)
Other revenue includes, among other items, interconnect, mobile handset sales, carriage fee and installation revenue.
