In the mobile sector, while other service providers rolled out low-price unlimited mobile data plans, we were able to maintain both stable pricing as well as market share in terms of mobile revenue and subscriber base. We continued to migrate our customers to higher price plans, and we saw the continuation of subscribers migrating to higher-speed fiber services in our broadband business as well. We launched our smart speakers last week, which enables our customers to enjoy smart home and other AI related services while further increasing their stickiness to our network.&#8221;</p>

We continued to be the largest video platform in Taiwan with more than 2 million subscribers. In January, our regulator approved us to freely package MOD channels in order to meet customer demand, which we believe benefits our business in the long term. Our ICT services revenue also grew, and we are fully prepared and optimistic for the upcoming 5G service launch. Above all, we remain committed to leveraging our core strengths and market advantages to maximize value to our shareholders in the face of potential changes to the competitive landscape. To take our business to the next level and to return to a growth trajectory, we rolled out a customer-centric value creation transformation plan this year to strengthen our core businesses, deploy emerging services, optimize our cost </p>
