Eroding Fixed-Line Revenue And Fierce Competition Will Shrink Margins

Key Takeaways Continued declines in legacy fixed-line revenue and growing competitive pressures threaten margins, while sector-wide fiber uptake and mobile gains are unlikely to offset losses. High capital requirements, inflationary lease expenses, and reduced asset sale benefits constrain cash flow, limiting capacity to fund growth amid market saturation and technological disruption.
