In his remarks, Terzioglu stated that: “Developing applications that allowed us to sell processed data rather than raw data, we enriched our value proposition to our customers. We have transformed Turkcell into a Digital Operator. That is our vision. Our strategy is to serve our customers as much as we can in each of 1440 minutes of a day through our digital services. This vision and strategy brought us where we are today, 59% topline and 97% EBITDA growth in the third quarter of 2018 in a two year cumulative basis. We also take our digital know-how and make it available to other telecom operators around the world through our Lifecell Ventures subsidiary.”
