Mobile Subscriptions,  Central Eastern Europe (CEE): Deutsche Telekom AG has registered a growth in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) which is playing an active role in underpinning the group total earnings.

Of particular interest is the fact that while company revenues from mobiles rose 11% in the mobile sector, the final quarter underwent a 17.5% explosion.

Group earnings before interest, taxes and deductions rose 5.7% to US$ 25 billion. Telekom was also able to report that the number of broadband-DSL lines in the CEE region more than doubled last year to 0.5 million, helping to raise the group's total number of broadband lines to 8.5 million. Fixed-line revenues in Eastern Europe remained stable last year despite intense competition from other services such as internet telephony.

* Telekom's business in the CEE area includes Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
