text: ADDITIONS TO PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 
  
  Additions to property, plant and equipment include costs associated 
  with acquiring and placing property, plant and equipment into service. 
  The telecommunications business requires extensive and continual 
  investments, including investment in new technologies and expansion 
  of geographical reach and capacity capital. 
  
  WIRELESS 
  Wireless additions were 23% lower this year compared to last year 
  because we invested significantly less in HSPA capacity and spent less 
  on deployment of our LTE network, offset by higher investments to 
  improve the quality and coverage of the wireless network. Our LTE 
  network reached approximately 73% of Canada’s population as at 
  December 31, 2013. 
  
  Management focuses on the planning, funding and management of 
  additions 
  to property, plant and equipment, because they are 
  significant, and have a material impact on our cash flow. 
  
  CABLE 
  Cable additions were higher this year compared to last year because of 
  the timing of initiatives related to service enhancements, reflecting 
  increasing our investment in improving our video and Internet platforms 
  related to the rollout of 
  and in customer premise equipment 
  NextBox 2.0 and NextBox 3.0 digital set-top boxes and continuation of 
  the ongoing analog to digital subscriber migration.
