• In the past 5 years, annual revenue
decreases in Greece were in the
double digits in contrast to the rest
of Europe were decreases have
been under 5% annually
• Revenues have been negatively
affected by the economic crisis, the
regulatory interventions and over
taxation of mobile com. services
• Approximately half of the service
revenues reduction in 2013 is due
to the reduction of termination
tariffs

Sector Results and Indexes – Call minutes
In 2013, total call minutes increased slightly (1,8%) but call minutes per user decreased (-3,4%)
• For the first time in 2012 and 2013 the call minutes per user (MOU) showed a decrease due to the negative impact of
the financial crisis on demand. The large increase between 2009 – 2011 was due to the reduction of the number of
users following the obligatory registration of card users.
• Total call minutes increased in 2013, following a decrease in 2012 and 2011, as the number of subscribers increased.

• While up to 2006 the ARPU in
Greece and Europe were at the
same level, in the following years
the ARPU in Greece decreased
steeply and fell well below the
European
• The lower tariff per call minute and
the lower data penetration in
Greece relatively to Europe have a
negative impact on this index

profound recession than the whole
economy, as regulatory interventions,
over taxation and competition put
pressure on its revenues.
• Termination tariffs decreased further
as of 1/1/2014, but the decrease is
smaller than that of the previous year.

• Investments were funded by own
capital due to the inability of the
banks to finance the Operators
through loans.
• The expected decrease in revenues
and EBITDA in the coming years
will limit the ability of the

investments that are necessary for
network upgrading

The Sector’s contribution to the GDP
• The Sector’s total contribution to the GDP within the last decade is 7% (excluding the 380 mil. of 2011). In a
few months there will be more investment due to the auctioning of new spectrum for the 15 year licenses of
the Mob. Operators
• The Sector’s contribution is quite significant considering that the total growth of the Greek economy was
31.2% in the period 1992 - 2012

The Sector’s contribution to Entrepreneurship
During its twenty year presence in the Greek market the Mobile Communications Sector has
contributed significantly in the shaping of today’s business scene through the creation of:
• New areas of business activity (eg industrial devices)
It is estimates that sales of Apple's iPhone 5 accounted for 0.25% - 0.5% of U.S. GDP
• New vertical activities in existing sectors (eg Mobile Advertising, M Health, M Education, Mobility Social Networking)
Facebook is expected to increase fivefold its revenues from mobile services and mobile
advertising in the next year.
• New markets such as the market of mobile applications, with a turnover of approximately €400
mil. In 2012 ($12 billion worldwide) and with an expected grow of 40% by 2017. The percentage of
exports and investment in research and development surpass 80% and 25% of turnover, respectively.

Growth upon conditions
The Mobile Communications Sector is one of the biggest and steadiest investors in the Greek economy,
yet the hurdles to investment still persist
1. The dysfunction of Public Administration hinders the Mob. Operators from realizing their
investment plans:
•
•
•
•
High risk of loss of investment due to the inability of the Public Administration to license the
Operators’ network investments within the time period that they are implemented.
Significant waste of resources on court adjudications and on fines which result from the
untimely (overly delayed) licensing of the Operators’ network infrastructure.
Considerable delay by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks regarding the
tabling of the draft Law which will improve the licensing procedure for mobile networks.
Significant delay in the issuance of Common Ministerial Decisions which are needed for the
completion of the licensing framework.
2. An unfavorable and inconsistent mobile telephony taxation framework:
•
•
The taxation of corporate mobile use as personal income should be abolished.
The Special Mobile Telephony Tax should be reexamined in order to reduce the telephone bill of
the Greek consumer.

telephony tax, Public revenues and Recession
