_______________

(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 $76.4 million and $65.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 or home office (SOHO) subscribers. SOHO subscribers pay a premium price to receive expanded 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 is included in subscription revenue, aggregated $114.8 million and $102.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(d)
Other revenue includes, among other items, interconnect fees, mobile handset sales, installation fees, channel carriage fees and revenue earned from services provided to the VodafoneZiggo JV..
