Slovak dominant fixed-line operator Slovak Telekom (ST) was fined Sk1.5 million (€49,800) because it did not release the complete directory of client phone numbers in a printed form.

Slovak Telekom appealed against the first decision on August 4, which the regulator's former chief Branislav Máčaj turned down. Vavro explained that the duty to provide a full telephone directory, updated regularly at least once a year, stems from the law on electric communications, which implemented relevant directives of the European Union (EU).
