We expect to end 2016 with slightly growing Core revenue and Group EBITDA, in spite of the high comparable basis for BICS and the additional challenges that 2016 is expected to bring:
Proximus will operate in a new competitive landscape in Belgium
Roam-Like-At-Home regulation
Transitory period starting 30 April 2016.
Negative impact on Proximus Revenue and EBITDA estimated at -28M. Net impact expected to be lower due to positive elasticity on usage.
