To find the average number of subscribers over the next 3 years, we need to find the total change in subscribers over those 3 years and divide by 3.

We can find the change in subscribers by subtracting the estimated number of subscribers in 3 years from the estimated number of subscribers now:

11eb12b0-a974-cca1-b394-4f2eb0177468_TB7866_11 - 11eb12b0-a974-cca1-b394-4f2eb0177468_TB7866_8 = 11eb12b0-a974-cca1-b394-4f2eb0177468_TB7866_3

Dividing the change over 3 years by 3 gives:

11eb12b0-a974-cca1-b394-4f2eb0177468_TB7866_3 / 3 = 14,679

Therefore, the answer is B) 14,679.
