Cesky Telecom announced that the number of ADSL lines reached 200,000 compared with 151,000 at the end of 1H05 and 100,000 at the beginning of 2005. This implies that the uptake rate has increased to 19,600/month compared with 8,333 in the first half. We regard CT’s focus on ADSL as positive as this is one of the few fixed-line growth areas and helps to stabilize its fixed-line revenues. ADSL is accessible on 90% of fixed lines.
