Sky Deutschland, which is now part of Rupert Murdoch's European media powerhouse with 20 million customers, said it saw a rising demand for its mobile services, while less subscribers cancelled.

The company reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of 3.5 million euros (£2.64 million), compared to a 37 million euro loss a year ago.
