A revenue decline of 9.4% in its fixed-line operations to CHF 1.46bn ($1.1bn) is bad enough, but mobile revenue declined by 0.7% to CHF 1bn ($760.9bn) as competition and lower ARPU in a difficult business climate limited revenue.

The only bright spot was Stuttgart, Germany-based Debitel which increased revenue by 15.9% to CHF 1bn ($760.9m). It said that revenue in Germany increased by 23.8% due to increased merchandising sales as a result of an increased market presence.
