Usage examples
  • Owing to the absence of the implementation of an adequate cost accounting method, Portugal did not provide precise figures on the cost of universal service but only a gross estimate of Esc 81 billion for the investment as a whole (taking account of the depreciation rates (10) used by Portugal Telecom, the Commission will therefore assume in its assessment that this total investment corresponds to an annual burden around Esc 15 billion, i.e. one third of the net profits of Portugal Telecom in 1995).
