[1] Active customer means a customer that has used his access at least once during the quarter that precedes the measurement period in question (only applies to those customers
who do not pay subscription charges). If the customer pays a subscription charge, the customer is deemed to be active if the payment was made during the immediately preceding quarter.
[2] Public Switched Telephone Network.
[3] Integrated Services Digital Network.
[4] Digital Subscriber Line. The two most common are ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) and VDSL (Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line).
[5] Subscriptions for data access cards, internal data access cards and data access cards that connects with USB or similar.
[6] Internet access is reached via a property network, i.e. a LAN (local network) usually based on Ethernet technology. The property network is linked to a public fibre network,
for example an area network. The property network, which may comprise optic fibre cable or copper-based cable, links the individual 
dwellings/operations with the property node, which in its turn is connected to the area networks.
