Good morning everyone and welcome to our Q3 earnings call. I'm very pleased with the development of our last quarter and with the opportunities ahead of us, both in mobile and withguti.

In mobile, we see strong opportunities for efficient customer growth.

Through optimized marketing mix, through optimized workshops, through reduction in churn, and through the acquisition of Mobile Zone.

And with Whitewood TV, we also believe that there is huge potential for further customer growth and even more profitability.

I'm very excited about the Final sprint of the year and an initiative reached 26.

Which will mark our transformation into an AI for telco. There's a lot to do and we are on it.
