The above represents a direct comparison of businesses classed as telecommunications undertakings under the Regulation of Undertakings and Developments (1973) Law.
It should be noted that some ancillary or incidental work related to the operation of a telecoms business, for example, cable laying, may be included in 2005 and not included in 2009, or visa versa, where this work has been either out-sourced or in-sourced. Some caution therefore be applied in making the comparisons and seeking to draw conclusions about the overall levels of economic activity in the sector.
