However, at Rogers, our strategy is built to embrace this change. During 2000, as convergence continued to define the future, we continued to define convergence. Our Cable business solidified its position as the distribution means of choice for digital entertainment and high-speed Internet access. At Rogers™ AT&T® Wireless, we committed to new GSM/GPRS technology that will soon enable our national networks to transmit vast quantities of data using the leading interna- tional standard. And our Media group profited from its commanding position as a major Canadian content supplier. In all our markets, competition is intense. As our financial results show, we are investing aggressively to secure our long-term competitive position while producing stable results. Propelled by strong top-line growth at all operat- ing companies, overall revenues for Rogers increased during 2000 by 12.8% from $3,107.8 million to $3,504.2 million. Operating income before depreciation and amor- tization was $917.7 million, an increase of 2.7% from $893.8 million in 1999. Importantly, in a year when investments in capital expenditures were $1.2 billion, primarily for cable and wireless upgrades, we managed to maintain our long term debt-to-EBITDA ratio at approximately 4:1.
