Directory services revenue for 2007 increased $0.4 million to $114.6 million as compared to 2006.
Excluding the additional directory services revenue attributable to the CTE and GVN acquisitions of $1.3
million in 2007, directory services revenue for 2007 decreased $0.8 million, or 1%, as compared to 2006,
reflecting slightly lower revenues from yellow pages advertising, mainly in Rochester, New York.
Other
Other revenue for 2008 decreased $11.5 million, or 12%, to $82.4 million as compared to 2007. Other
revenue was impacted by a decrease in equipment sales of $7.0 million, a decrease in service activation fee
revenue of $3.3 million and decreased “bill and collect” fee revenue of $3.2 million, partially offset by higher
DISH video revenue of $3.3 million.
Other revenue for 2007 decreased $2.3 million, or 2%, to $93.9 million as compared to 2006. Excluding
the additional other revenue attributable to the CTE and GVN acquisitions of $13.9 million in 2007, other
revenue for 2007 decreased $16.2 million, or 17%, as compared to 2006, primarily due to a $9.9 million
increase in bad debt expense, the impact of a $3.4 million reduction in revenue for our free video promotions
with a multi-year customer commitment in some of our markets, a decrease in service activation billing of $2.5
million and a decrease of $1.8 million in wireless revenue from the Mohave Cellular Limited Partnership.
