- Operators reach agreement to share fibre network in bid to expand reach to greenfield sites.
- Over‑the‑top products to be a focus on launch in April.
Slovak Telekom (ST) is to piggy‑back on rival Orange Slovakia’s fibre infrastructure to further its wholesale network reach.
The deal follows a December 2020 agreement that made Orange a customer on ST’s wholesale network. On 1 April 2021, in line with the conditions of that agreement, ST will gain access to “part of” the Orange network in areas it does not currently operate. Specific locations have not yet been revealed.
ST will provide its portfolio of fixed network services, including over‑the‑top services such as TV proposition Magio TV and converged package Magenta 1, on the network.
