Second-ranked Australian telco Singtel Optus has posted a rise in underlying net profit of 7.4% to $A417m in the half-year ending 30 September 2014. The mobile telephony division boosted its revenue 1.1% to $A2.7bn. However it suffered a drop of 92,000 in subscriber numbers, while there was also one of 207,000 in the mobile broadband segment. CEO Allen Lew says Optus will soon roll out new bundled deals with content providers, to reverse the under-performance of its fixed-broadband operation
