--Fixed-to-mobile interconnection revenues fell by 23.8% year-on-year, mainly as a result of a 20.2% year-on-year decrease in the fixed-to-mobile interconnection tariff tariff, tax on imported and, more rarely, exported goods. It is also called a customs duty. Tariffs may be distinguished from other taxes in that their predominant purpose is not financial but economic—not to increase a nation's revenue but to protect domestic ;

These expenses represented 41.2 % of service revenues in the period, versus 42.4 % in the same period of 2004, mainly due to the replacement of management fees with lower brand fees to TIM Italia S.p.A.
