We have a network ready to provide a service of extreme quality on a digital cable television platform with a high capacity for growth in the HD (High Definition) format.
We currently have 50 HD channels and we estimate to increase them to around 70 by next year. This growth also will have a
positive impact on television revenues.
We are maintaining our four services of Cable Television On Demand: All You Can Eat, live channels, transactional (premier movies) and Catch-Up TV.
As a follow-up to our digitalization process, we incorporated more than 153 thousand digital cable television subscribers and 1,574.798 additional boxes, which allowed us to achieve the total number of 1,324,096 digital subscribers, which represents a 13% increase compared to 2012.
Average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) remained in line with 2012, reaching Ps. 227.7
We launched the Megacable On Demand service, which is based on the Cisco Videoscape Unity platform, through our OTT (Over The Top) services. With its service, we became the first cable company that will offer a multi-screen service to customers in Mexico and one of the first providers that offers this type of service in Latin America.
Megacable on Demand will enable our subscribers to enjoy their favorite televisions shows and channels live, wherever they are, whenever they want and using any transmission device. We currently have 20 live channels and we hope that in the coming years, we will be able to double this offer.
Megacable On Demand provides more than 3 thousand hours of series and movies and a wide selection of live channels.
Cable television revenues increased by 5% from 2012 to 2013, contributing to service income with Ps. 5,790 million.
