Access
Internet access is Tiscali’s core business, and the Group is one of Europe’s three biggest operators by number of active users.
Tiscali’s active user base numbered 7.8 million at 31 December 2003, including some 840,000 broadband (ADSL) customers.
Access revenues totalled EUR 613 million, up 19% on 2002, and accounted for 68% of total revenues. This business was the
main driver of revenue growth in 2003, and was boosted by rising demand for broadband, which generated net revenues of EUR
143.3 million, a sharp rise on the 2002 figure.
The number of active users rose from 7.3 million at end-2002 to 7.8 million at end-2003.
