To provide more convenient and risk free payment options to our rapidly increasing subscriber base, we have put into service the Atom platform, which will encourage more customers to pay using their phones. Our association with Atom Technologies for using the innovative Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology will offer more convenience to our subscribers by providing them with additional option of making payments.”
