The drop in voice revenue was accelerated in 1S15 by the fall of 10% in mobile voice revenue, in comparison with 1S14, due to a more intense use of messaging and reduction of VUM (interconnection). Fixed voice revenue decreased 3% in this period.
Mobile voice still is, however, the main telecom service in Brazil holding total revenue of 29% and voice total revenue of 59%.
