"The increase in contract customer base, reflecting the impact of customer retention initiatives that have reduced the number of terminations during the period, as well as the stabilization of revenues are the indicators that marked the performance of the company in the first quarter of 2010, despite the seasonal effects of the period. The improvement of month-on-month revenues confirm the economic stabilization outlook for this year", said Thierry Millet, CEO Orange Romania.

Data services accounted for 13.8% of first-quarter network revenues, up from 12.4% a year earlier.
