This second agreement shows the great confidence and mutual interests of the parties and strengthens our position in the automotive industry. We expect this agreement to bring us hundreds of thousands of additional subscribers, positioning us as a clear market leader in Argentina. We believe this agreement positions us well for future opportunities and expending our business in Latin America. We look forward to deepening our relationship and working further with this client, one of the world's leading car manufacturers, as we build a long-term, successful and fruitful business."
