Okay, I will continue. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, our Selular subsidiary Telkomsel delivered remarkable results both financial and operational. For the fourth consecutive year, Telkomsel achieved triple double-digit growth in revenue, EBITDA and net income, which grew by 14.8%, 14.4% and 15.4% year-on-year, respectively; revenue growth to IDR 76.1 trillion, with the growth engine coming from digital business that increased by 43% driven by data, which increased by 44%, and digital services which increased by 39%. Digital business accounted for 29.5% of total revenues, considerably increased from 23.6% in the previous year. As opposed to the industry trend, Telkomsel still recorded healthy growth in legacy business with -- voice grew 10% and SMS increased 5% year-on-year. It is attributable to the successful smart pricing execution of cluster grades pricing and market segmentation. On the profitability side, Telkomsel EBITDA and net income margin remained superior at 56% and 29.4%, respectively. Telkomsel continues strong operational results with total BTSs on hand has exceeded 100,000. And during the year, we deployed around 18,000 new BTSs, of which almost 90% were 3G and 4G BTSs in an effort to maintain leading network supply and growing our digital businesses. As end of 2015, our BTS on air reached 100,003 -- 103,289 units, and 53% of which were 3G and 4G BTSs. As a result, data traffic suddenly increased by 110%. On 4G LTE, as the first operator who commercially launched LTE in Indonesia, we continue to increase our footprint, and this service is now available in 14 cities. Another milestone that we made is on fixed broadband businesses. And at the end of 2015, IndiHome Triple Play has reached 1.1 million subscribers. This is a remarkable achievement as IndiHome was initiated only at the beginning of the year. Demand for high-speed Internet service at home is huge as middle-class segment is growing fast, and they have the need to get linked to high-quality Internet. Therefore, we are continuously building up our human resources both in terms of capabilities and numbers to capture the potential demand. At the end of 2015, we already have 4,800 fiber technicians under our subsidiary, TELKOM Access, especially for IndiHome installation. And we will continue to strengthen our operational capabilities to accelerate our fixed broadband expansion. Ladies and gentlemen, let me now say the progress of Indonesia Digital Network for the full year 2015. On the id-Access until the end of December 2015, we already have 10 million fiber-based homes passed. We also have installed more than 320,000 WiFi access points, partly to help offload mobile traffic in an effort to maintain quality service of our mobile broadband, particularly in the cloud areas. On the transport side, we call it as the id-Ring. In total, we currently have almost 82,000 kilometers of nationwide fiber-based backbone network, connecting major isles, from the west to the very east of Indonesia, which include Maluku and Papua. While for the id-Convergence, the Telkom Group has a total of 74,000 square meters of data center, that is operationally run by our subsidiary, telkomsigma. And we also have 1 project under construction, around 220,000 square meters of data center in Jurong, Singapore. Ladies and gentlemen, we keep exploring opportunity outside Indonesia as a means to push ourselves to have a global standard in doing business to sharpen our competitiveness. We select and review potential businesses in the region and focus on businesses that create synergy to our current business portfolio in telecommunications, IT, media and content in education and entertainment. We are in progress to develop Indonesia's global network project connecting Europe to Indonesia through -- we call it as a SEA - ME - WE5 submarine cable system. And until December 2015, we have completed part of cable ending station in North Sumatra. This cable network is expected to be completed by fourth quarter 2016. Meanwhile for Southeast Asia, United States, global backbone network connecting Indonesia to United States expected to be completed by first quarter 2017. We have a pending project with this acquisition of Guam Telkom that is still under review by the United States authority. We expect that we can get notification regarding this in due time. Ladies and gentlemen, our excellent performance admitted by various independent third parties as we received many awards related to our operational and service excellence. We see that this was appreciated for Telkom Group and so inspire and motivate all of us to work harder in Sumatra. From time to time, we are improving how we organize our businesses with 1 objective, to serve our customer better in effective and efficient manner. And starting by 2016, we transformed our organization into 5 customer-facing units. We call it as a CFU, which make all elements in Telkom Group more organized to serve all our customers in the area of mobile business, digital service, consumer, enterprise and wholesale and international in a synergic way. With this model, we prefer competition within the group, and we managed the company's resources in effective and efficient ways. Ladies and gentlemen, let me now observe guidance for 2016 as a wrap-up. We expect both Telkom and Telkomsel's revenue to grow in line with our slightly better than market rates in by continued effort to increase digital business revenue. We estimate that the industry to grow by around 9% in 2016. Telkom growth will be on the back of strengthened mobile digital business and refined fixed-line businesses. For EBITDA margin, we expect to slightly decline, both for Telkom and Telkomsel, in line with continuing investment in broadband infrastructure both for mobile and fixed-line businesses. While consolidated capital expenditure spending for 2016 is expected at around 22% to 25% of revenue, with increased focus on broadband infrastructure. That's ending my remarks. Thank you.
