Total Revenue
Operating revenue 20 237 16 782
Other income* (excluding profit on disposal of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and disposal of business) 257 283
Investment income 128 127

Operating revenue increased due to the higher mobile voice and subscriber revenue, higher equipment sales and the consolidation of BCX for the full reporting period, partially offset by the continuous decline in fixed-line voice revenue.

Other income remained fairly constant. Included in other income is interest received from debtors of R125 million (30 September 2015: R114 million).

*The profit on disposal of the excluded items is R144 million (30 September 2015: R282 million).
