Slovakia’s land-line operator Slovak Telekom and mobile operator T-Mobile Slovensko, which is a wholly owned of subsidiary of Slovak Telekom, announced plans to merge the two companies. As you’ve just figured out, Slovak Telekom is already the owner of a local T-Mobile, but the move would make the new company more efficient, allowing for sharing of resources.
Moreover, Slovak Telekom (and in that sense T-Mobile Slovensko) is 51% owned by Germany’s Deutsche Telekom, which initially suggested such a move. Slovak Telekom’s other shareholders include Slovak Economy Ministry (34%) and Slovakia’s National Property Fund (15%).
“The project of integration is of a long-term nature, it consists of many other partial projects, e.g. harmonisation of processes, interconnection of all information systems enabling a comprehensive view of the customer,” the companies said in a statement.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
