December 19 (SeeNews) - The Austrian-based unit of Bosnia’s Telekom Srpske [BANJ:TLKM-R-A], Mtel Austria, has expanded its services in Vienna by opening its first joint unit with group member and peer GO4YU, Telekom Srpske said.
Mtel Austria provides mobile voice services, while GO4YU will now offer Mtel customers IPTV and fixed-line products, Telekom Srpske said in a statement late last week.
"Our focus is to connect our people who live or work outside of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro through telecommunications services," said Natalija Jegdic, advisor to the general manager for marketing and sales in the Telekom Srbija Group.
Mtel Austria began commercial operations as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in 2015, in partnership with Telekom Austria's A1.
By using Dual International Mobile Subscriber Identity, Mtel Austria allows its customers to enjoy the benefits of the A1 network, while making inexpensive calls to Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro, Telekom Srpske said at the time.
Telekom Srpske is the second-largest telecommunications company in Bosnia. It is majority-owned by Serbian state-controlled Telekom Srbija and has clients mainly in Bosnia’s Serb Republic entity, which forms Bosnia and Herzegovina together with the Federation entity.
GO4YU is also partly owned by Telekom Srbija.
