Cesky Telecom’s board of directors met yesterday, where it seems the main issue discussed was the unsettled CEO appointment of G. Berdar. Mr. Berdar, who the board announced as its CEO candidate in April, is reportedly still negotiating contract terms with the board. No decision was reportedly taken either with regard to the Eurotel acquisition, or to a dividend.
Separately, the Czech Press Agency reports today that the country’s new telecommunication law could be completed in the autumn of this year, enabling the leasing of Cesky Telecom’s local loops by alternative operators. Enabling access to the “last mile” is seen as a last major step in market liberalization.
