TNS data communications services posted 2Q/12 total revenue down 3.3% to $136.9 million from the year ago figure of $141.6 million while GAAP net income was $2.3 million, compared to GAAP net income of $1.1 million in 2Q/11. With this, Revenue from the Telecommunication Services Division decreased $0.8 million by 1.0% to $70.7 million for the quarter from $71.5 million posted in 2Q/11. These were partially offset by decreases of $1.5 million due to an anticipated peering partner contract price concession as the wireless caller name model transitions, $1.2 million due to lower queries to wireless data, $0.3 million due to the renewal of certain customer contracts, and $0.3 million from lower volumes in legacy payphone fraud and validation services.
Revenue from the Payment Services Division decreased $3.5 million, or 6.5%, to $49.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $53.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The negative effect of foreign currency translation on a year-over-year basis was $2.4 million. Revenue from network services decreased $1.3 million, or 4.6%, to $26.5 million. Included in this decrease was a reduction of $0.8 million of pass-through revenues from regulatory message signaling unit charges (MSUs). Excluding this decrease, network services revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 1.9%, due to $1.4 million related primarily to price concessions on call signaling routes from industry consolidation. This was partially offset by increased revenue of $0.9 million due to higher demand for connectivity and wireless transport services from mobile customers.
