Our offerings ensure a high quality of service by\nincluding network redundancy as well as network and customer\npremise backup powering. Our cable telephony service includes a rich\nset of features, such as TV Call Display, three-way calling and Home &\nAway™ voicemail that allows customers to be notified of and listen to\ntheir voicemail over MMS or the Web. In addition, we offer a wireless\nalternative to a fixed-line service.\n\nCOMPETITION\n\nCable television competes:\n\n* increasingly with alternative, Canadian multi-channel Broadcasting\nDistribution Undertakings (BDUs), including Bell TV, Shaw Direct,\nsatellite TV services, and Internet Protocol television\n\n* with over-the-air local and regional broadcast television signals\nreceived directly through antennas, and the illegal reception of\nUS direct broadcast satellite services\n\n* with television shows and movies streaming over the Internet\nthrough providers like Netflix and Apple TV.\n\nCable Internet competes with other ISPs that offer residential and\ncommercial dial-up and high-speed Internet access services. Rogers\nHi-Speed Internet services compete directly with:\n\n* Bell’s DSL Internet service in Ontario\n\n* Bell Aliant’s DSL/fibre and FTTH Internet services in New Brunswick\nand Newfoundland\n\n* various resellers using wholesale telco DSL and cable Third Party\nInternet Access (TPIA) services in local markets.\n\nCable telephony competes with:\n\n* Bell’s wireline phone service in Ontario\n\n* Bell Aliant’s wireline phone service in New Brunswick and\nNewfoundland and Labrador\n\n* ILEC local loop resellers (such as Primus) as well as VoIP service\nproviders (such as Vonage and Skype) riding over the Internet access\nservices of ISPs\n\n* Wireless home phone products.\n\nACQUISITION\n\nIn January 2013, we announced a multi-part strategic transaction with\nShaw to acquire Mountain Cable (Shaw’s cable system in Hamilton,\nOntario), and to secure an option to purchase Shaw’s Advanced\nWireless Services spectrum holdings in 2014. As part of the agreement,\nwe sold our one-third equity interest in the TVtropolis specialty TV\nchannel to Shaw. Mountain Cable provides cable television, Internet\nand telephony services to an area covering approximately 59,000\nhomes in and around Hamilton, Ontario. On May 1, 2013, we closed on\na portion of the multi-part agreement with Shaw to buy 100 % of\nMountain Cable, and paid $398 million, according to the terms of the\nagreement.\n\nCABLE FINANCIAL RESULTS\n\n<table><thead><tr><td></td><th colspan=\"3\">Years ended December 31</th></tr><tr><th>(In millions of dollars, except percentages)</th><th>2013¹</th><th>2012</th><th>% Chg</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Operating revenue</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Television</td><td>$ 1,809</td><td>$ 1,868</td><td>(3)</td></tr><tr><td>Internet</td><td>1,159</td><td>998</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>Phone</td><td>498</td><td>477</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>Service revenue</td><td>3,466</td><td>3,343</td><td>4</td></tr><tr><td>Equipment sales</td><td>9</td><td>15</td><td>(40)</td></tr><tr><td>Operating revenue – Cable</td><td>3,475</td><td>3,358</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td>Operating expenses</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Cost of equipment</td><td>(6)</td><td>(20)</td><td>(70)</td></tr><tr><td>Other operating expenses</td><td>(1,751)</td><td>(1,733)</td><td>1</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>(1,757)</td><td>(1,753)</td><td>–</td></tr><tr><td>Adjusted operating profit – Cable</td><td>$ 1,718</td><td>$ 1,605</td><td>7</td></tr><tr><td>Adjusted operating profit margin</td><td>49.4%</td><td>47.8%</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Additions to property, plant and equipment</td><td>1,105</td><td>832</td><td>33</td></tr></tbody></table>\n\n<sup>1</sup> Results of operations include Mountain Cable’s operating results as of May 1, 2013\n(the date of acquisition).\n\nCABLE SUBSCRIBER RESULTS\n\n<table><thead><tr><td></td><th colspan=\"3\">Years ended December 31</th></tr><tr><th>(Subscriber statistics in thousands)</th><th>2013</th><th>2012</th><th>Chg</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Cable homes passed</td><td>3,978</td><td>3,810</td><td>168</td></tr><tr><td>Television</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net losses</td><td>(127)</td><td>(83)</td><td>(44)</td></tr><tr><td>Total television subscribers ²</td><td>2,127</td><td>2,214</td><td>(87)</td></tr><tr><td>Internet</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net additions</td><td>63</td><td>73</td><td>(10)</td></tr><tr><td>Total Internet subscribers ²</td><td>1,961</td><td>1,864</td><td>97</td></tr><tr><td>Phone</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net additions</td><td>42</td><td>23</td><td>19</td></tr><tr><td>Total phone subscribers ²</td><td>1,153</td><td>1,074</td><td>79</td></tr><tr><td>Total service units ²,³</td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Net additions (losses)</td><td>(22)</td><td>13</td><td>(35)</td></tr><tr><td>Total service units</td><td>5,241</td><td>5,152</td><td>89</td></tr></tbody></tbody></table>\n\n<sup>1</sup> Subscriber count is a key performance indicator.
