Issues relating to market regulations and plans to set up a fiberoptic network, reaching all households in the country, were among the issues discussed. Deutsche Telekom, Europe’s biggest telephone company, has agreed to take a 25 percent stake in OTE plus control of the phone company in a deal to be completed later this year. Meanwhile, the Capital Market Commission ruled that Deutsche Telekom is not obligated to make a public offer for the acquisition of the remaining OTE shares it has not purchased.
