Slovak Telekom Group is the leading provider of telecommunications services in Slovakia, with fixed-line phone installations in more than half of the country's 1.9 million households. The company also provides mobile, Internet, call-center, and other services and solutions to residential and business customers. In recent years, Slovak Telekom sought to broaden its market for broadband Internet, especially among households and small businesses that did not have a modern PC or broadband connections. The telecommunications company joined the Microsoft Subscription Computing Program and began offering an essentially free Windows Vista - based PC with any broadband Internet subscription. As a result, Slovak Telekom has brought affordable computing and Internet access to thousands of new households and businesses, broadened its market reach, and enhanced its revenues and reputation.
