quarters of 2008 also continued in the third quarter. The sales revenues of the Group in the third quarter of 2008 reached 1,566 million EEK (3rd quarter 2007: 1,612 million EEK), and is primarily affected by the reduction in interconnection fees (for the period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009, the interconnection fees in mobile phone networks were fixed at 1.37 EEK instead of the former 1.66 EEK). In the mobile communications services segment, the consolidated turnover reached 966 million EEK, decreasing by 8% compared to the third period of 2007 (3rd quarter 2007: 1,050 million EEK). The drop in total revenues was caused by a reduction in interconnection revenues resulting from the decrease in interconnection prices, which was partially compensated by growth in the number of terminated call minutes, the growth of mobile data communications, and the growth of subcontracted services volumes. In addition, in the third quarter the revenues received from the retailing and wholesaling of telecommunications merchandise decreased compared to a year ago, which is caused by changes in consumer behavior. At the end of the third quarter of 2008, the EMT client base was 18 thousand users more than at the end of the third quarter of last year, reaching 777 thousand active SIM cards (September 2007: 759 thousand cards). Compared with a year ago, the number of contractual clients has increased by 19 thousand, reaching 484 thousand by the third quarter of 2008, while at the same time, the number of active users of pre-paid cards decreased by one thousand during the year, to 293 thousand by the end of the third quarter. EMT assesses its market share based on active SIM cards to be 47%. The estimated penetration of active cards in Estonia is 122%. The increase in the call minutes initiated by EMT clients remained at 1% compared to the third quarter of last year. Pursuant to the resolution of the Communications Board, a termination fee for voice calls in the mobile phone networks (interconnection fees) for AS EMT, Elisa Eesti AS and Tele2 Eesti AS for the period 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 was fixed at 2.05 EEK per minute, and for the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 was fixed at 1.66 EEK. Since Elisa Eesti AS and Tele2 Eesti AS disputed the decisions in court, and in the course of provisional legal protection, the validity of the aforementioned administrative act was suspended, the interconnection fees of all three mobile operators remained at 2.50 EEK until 5 November 2007. On 5 November 2007, the ruling of the Tallinn Circuit Court came into force, whereby the provisional legal protection was cancelled and all three mobile operators were obligated to apply interconnection fees of 1.66 EEK. Litigation by Elisa Eesti AS and Tele2 with the Communications Board is continuing, and EMT is participating in the litigation as a third party. For the period of 1 July 2008 - 30 June 2009, the Competition Board, which is the legal successor to the Communications Board, established a fee of 1.37 EEK per minute for the termination of voice calls for AS EMT, Elisa Eesti AS and Tele2 Eesti AS in their mobile phone networks. The revenues received from mobile Internet continued to show very rapid growth. In the third quarter of this year, EMT revenues from mobile data communications exceeded the revenues for the same period in 2007 by half. At the same time, the volumes of transmitted data volumes redoubled. In September 2008, the number of mobile data communications users was 153 thousand, which is 34 thousand more than last year. The increase in the popularity of mobile data communications is caused by the rapid expansion of the 3G coverage area, which allows the clients to use high-quality and high-speed data communications at conveniently controllable prices. The installation of new 3G base stations for the expansion of external and internal coverage occurred at an accelerated tempo primarily in vacation districts. In addition, EMT is the only one in Estonia to provide EDGE data communications at speeds up to 200 kbps throughout its GSM coverage area. A European Parliament and Council of Europe regulation applies to AS EMT, as it does to other mobile operators in the European Community, pursuant to which, as of September 2007 the rate per minute for outgoing calls made or calls terminated within the borders of the European Community cannot exceed the maximum price established by the regulation. In addition, in the third quarter, discount contracts for roaming service came into force causing reductions in both the revenues from and costs of roaming. Therefore, the revenues received from roaming clients in the third quarter decreased by almost 25%. The sales revenues for the broadband services segment increased in the third quarter by 15%, reaching 886 million EEK (3rd quarter 2007: 772 million EEK). The largest increase in revenues came from the sale of subcontracted services, which increased by 140% or 83 million EEK. Revenues from subcontracted services grew primarily due to increases in minute volumes and significant increases in the sales volumes of brokered sub-services. In the last quarter, revenues increased from international interconnection services by 65%, which included an increase of 215% in the revenues for international call transit. At the same time, the revenues for call services earned from end consumers decreased by 10% due to the drop in minute volumes. In the third quarter, the total number of Elion clients with permanent connections increased by 3,600 connections, reaching 172 thousand (30 September 2007: 157 thousand). The company estimates that its market share based on clients with permanent connections is 54%. In the last quarter, the trend in connection fees for broadband services continued of the clients replacing individual services with comprehensive service packages. Compared to last year, the revenues for the broadband services segment increased 26% from the connection fees for service packages. As a result of a successful marketing campaign, the number of triple-package users increased during the quarter by 7,500, reaching 70.3 thousand as of September 30th (30 September 2007: 44.8 thousand). By the end of the third quarter, Elion had 75.4 thousand IP- and cable television clients (30 September 2007: 48.4 thousand). To guarantee the continued popularity of the triple package, as of September, Elion is the only television service provider in Estonia to provide digiTV totally in Russian. All the Elion digiTV menus, schedules for the Russian-lanauge channels and most popular Estonian and international channels, screen notices and introduction of the films offered for video rental are also available in Russian. Also many well-known Russian films have been added to the digiTV video rental selection. The goal of the innovations is to make digiTV even more user friendly for Russian-speaking clients and to provide clients with diversified entertainment. As of October 1st, two new channels were added to the Elion digiTV basic package, diversified the choice of channels in the theme packages, and equalized the monthly fees of all the theme packages, except for the Entertainment theme package to 35 EEK per month. Based on the significant increase of the ratio of the volume and revenues of the comprehensive packages, the revenues from monthly fees for call connections and Internet connections in the last quarter fell by 11% and 13% respectively compared to the same period of last year. At the same time, the revenue earned from the sale of comprehensive packages considerably exceeds the given decrease. By the end of the third quarter, the number of Elion's active call interfaces totaled 471.3 thousand (30 September 2007: 470.2 thousand interfaces), remaining stable at the same level for the last four quarters. Elion assesses its market share for call minutes initiated in the fixed network to be 80.4% (September 2007: 82%). The market share for local call minutes is 82% (September 2007: 84%), 67% for international call minutes 67% (September 2007: 65%) and 70.8% for call minutes made to mobile phones (September 2007: 69.5%). Pursuant to the resolution of the Competition Board, as of 1 August 2008, Elion reduced the monthly fee for the rental of copper pairs by 2 EEK and the rental fee for selected copper pairs by 3 EEK, which had not significant effect on Elion's results. In July, the Competition Board also terminated the proceeding investigating the fees for the wholesale service of Elion's permanent lines and approved the fees. In August, the Competition Board approved all the currently valid regulated prices (interconnection fees, fees for copper pair access, and fees for broadband access). Sales revenues for the IT services segment reached 73 million EEK in the third quarter of 2008 (3rd quarter 2007: 90 million EEK). Compared to the same period last year, sales revenues decreased by 19%, whereas the sales revenues for IT services remained the same and decreased by 37% for IT merchandise. Several large procurements in the private sector (finance and energy fields) affected the sales results for infrastructure solutions. In the third quarter, the “Laptops for Teachers” procurement organized by the Tiger's Leap Foundation was won by a bid from AS MicroLink Eesti. Within the framework of the procurement, 4,000 teachers will get new laptop computers. The HP laptops will be delivered within this calendar year. The cost of the transaction is more than 34 million EEK. In the third quarter, all the large projects in the project business continued—the e-health project (patient portal, digital pictures and digital prescriptions), Estonian Post's document management project, and the North-Estonian Regional Hospital identity management project. In the field of regular services, AS MicroLink Eesti won two important public procurements in the third quarter—the procurement for the purchase of a hosting environment for digital prescriptions organized by the Ministry of Social Affairs (provision of service during four years at a total cost of 35.4 million EEK) and the procurement for the hosting service for the register of plans organized by the Tallinn City Planning Department (provision of services during three years at a total cost of 2 million EEK). The procurement for IT maintenance services organized by the Ministry of Social Affairs was cancelled and will be organized again. The operating costs of the Eesti Telekom Group decreased by 5% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, reaching 941 million EEK (3rd quarter 2007: 992 million EEK). The operating costs in the mobile communications services segment decreased by 12 % compared to the third quarter of 2007 reaching 586 million EEK (3rd quarter 2007: 663 million EEK). Interconnection costs have decreased the most in connection with decreased interconnection prices. The operating costs related to retail and wholesale trading have also decreased, which is in line with the decrease in the sales turnover for trading. In connection with the decrease in the interconnection fees between telecommunications operators and a decrease in the relative importance of low-profitability, the operating profit margin has increased. The operating costs in the broadband services segment increased by 18% in the last quarter compared to the same period in 2007, reaching 639 million EEK (3rd quarter 2007: 543 million EEK). Of the increase in operating costs, 84% resulted directly from an increase in the direct sales costs of subcontracted services, international interconnection fees and increased sales volumes for triple packages. Another primary growth factor for operating costs was personnel costs, which increased by 10% compared to last year. At the same time, the direct sales costs for call services to end consumers decreased by 43% based on the reduction of call volumes. Due to smaller sales volumes, sales costs for retailing also decreased by 16%. The operating costs in the IT services segment decreased in the third quarter by 12%, reaching 72 million EEK (3rd quarter 2007: 81 million EEK). The Eesti Telekom Group EBITDA in the third quarter of 2008 reached 628 million EEK, which is slightly more than in the third quarter of 2007 (3rd quarter 2007: 627 million EEK). EBITDA in the mobile communications services segment decreased in the first quarter by 2% compared to the same period last year. EBITDA in the broadband services segment increased by 6% and in the IT services segment the increase was 2 million EEK in the third quarter of 2008 (3rd quarter 2007: 9 million EEK). The Group's EBITDA margin in the third quarter of 2007 was 40%, which is slightly higher than the margin for the corresponding period in 2007. The Group's depreciation cost reached 147 million EEK in the third quarter of 2008, increasing by 19% compared to the same period in 2007 (3rd quarter 2007: 124 million EEK). In the third quarter, the Eesti Telekom Group earned an EBIT of 481 million EEK, which decreased by 4% compared to the same period last year (3rd quarter 2007: 504 million EEK).
