Mobile service revenue growth continued to improve on a reported basis, rising to 1.1% from 0.3% in the March quarter, but most of this improvement came from a significant dip in the MTR cut drag, with underlying growth improving by a much more modest 0.2ppts
The quarter also benefited from the current round of in-contract price increases, which were more widespread and at a higher level than last year, and also from a brief holiday in the impact of roaming cut regulation, with the full abolition of retail charges only being implemented on 15 June, too late to have a major impact in the current quarter
Looking forward, the roaming regulation holiday will end with a jolt in the September quarter, with a full three months of zero retail roaming charges coinciding with the main holiday season for mobile consumers, which could impact market growth by up to 2ppts by our (tentative) estimates
