(Telecompaper) Vodafone said underlying service revenue declines slowed on a sequential basis in its fiscal second quarter to end September, to 0.4 percent year-on-year from a decline of 1.3 percent in the first quarter. Underlying momentum was offset by lower revenue from roaming and visitors amid the continuing covid-19 pandemic. Excluding roaming, service revenue grew 1.5 percent in Q2. The general figure was still off from the year before, when underlying service revenues lifted 0.7 percent.
