(Jiří Soustružník) Eurotel (51% owned by Cesky Telecom) and Radiomobil (39% owned by Ceske Radio) were fined by the Antitrust Office for repressing the third mobile operator Cesky Mobil (Oskar), local MFDnes says. The penalty amounts to CZK 30 - 50 mil., both companies appealed the ruling. Negative, but minor importance.
Separately, MFDnes informs that Cesky Telecom laid-off 1,200 employees in the first half of 2001; the company had 16,074 employees as of July.
