The government is scheduled to appoint the Cesky Telecom privatization committee today. The committee will submit the detailed privatization strategy plan for CT (worked up by the privatization advisor, CSFB/Ceska sporitelna) to the new government probably in September.
Separately, CT intends to raise ADSL coverage to 70% of its all lines (2.5m) by the end of the year (the previous target was 60%) due to sufficient demand. Note that the ADSL has currently 32,000 users in the CR and over 60% of them are CT’s customers.
