Company history

T-Mobile was originally formed in November 1990 in Czechoslovakia as a joint venture between the predecessor of Slovak Telekom and AWBV. In November 1990, this joint venture was awarded a 20-year exclusive license to operate an analog NMT 450 MHz network in the region that is now known as the Slovak Republic. The joint venture also received a license to construct and operate a public switched packet data network. The joint venture launched NMT 450 mobile telecommunications services in September 1991 and began to provide managed data network services in November 1991.

The company was converted from a limited liability company into its current form of a Slovak joint-stock company in December 1996. In August 1996, we received one of two licenses granted by the MTPT to build and operate a GSM 900 MHz network and we launched this service in February 1997. In July1999, our original GSM 900 MHz license was amended and we received one of two licenses granted by the MTPT to build and operate a GSM 1800 MHz network. We are now building out this GSM 1800 MHz network on a selective basis to provide additional in-building coverage and expanded capacity and to complement our existing GSM 900 MHz network.

In July 2000, the Telecom Office consolidated our licenses into one general license, which is valid until 2011, at which point we will have the option to renew the license for up to an additional 10 years. In addition, we also participated in a tender for a UMTS license. The tender was opened by the Telecom Office on March 15, 2002, in the form of a "beauty contest", whereby the licenses were tendered at a fixed price and granted to the applicant subject to fulfilling certain set criteria with respect to the applicant´s existing services and the most attractive strategy for the implementation of the new service. We received the license in June 2002.
