The tender for the auction of the fifth-generation wireless telecommunication network (5G) frequencies may be scheduled for this Wednesday, but the question is how fast this fast technology can roll out across Greece.

Greek broadband internet users have to wait from one to three weeks for connections to be repaired, according to data from the National Commission for Telecommunications and Post (EETT).

Greece's mobile phone services sector is trying to assess the impact of a decision by the telecommunications regulator to summon the three networks (Cosmote, Vodafone and Wind) to more than 800 hearings for as many violations regarding the operation of their antennas.

The market of new-generation fixed-line broadband internet connections has finally started moving in Greece.

According to the statistics of the National Commission for Telecommunications and Post (EETT), up to the summer of 2018 some 2,700 connections were installed concerning speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps) or more.

The National Commission for Telecommunications and Post (EETT) convened on Thursday and, according to sources, has decided to issue its approval for the acquisition of Cyta telecom's Greek subsidiary by Vodafone.

This decision paves the way for the merger of the two Greek companies, thereby reducing the number of local market players from five to four.
