NEW CHIEF TECHNICAL OFFICER AT MATÁV

 

BUDAPEST – June 30, 2004 – Matáv (NYSE: MTA.N and BSE: MTAV.BU), the leading Hungarian telecommunications service provider announces that Matáv’s Board of Directors today appointed Peter Janeck as the new Chief Technical Officer, effective July 12, 2004.

 

After gaining an engineering degree, Peter Janeck (55) started his career at the German Post, and has been working in telecommunications since 1983. He has accumulated considerable international experience in this period, serving, among other roles, as Chief Officer responsible for the fixed line network of the Croatian Telecom company (Hrvatski Telecom) for two years. Beginning March 2002 he was in charge of the technical infrastructure branch of T-Com, Deutsche Telekom’s fixed-line business. He will take the position of Matáv’s Chief Technical Officer and head of the Network Systems Line of Business from July 12, 2004.

 

Mr Janeck replaces Mr. Manfred Ohl, who left Matáv on April 30 this year to become Chief Technical Officer of Hrvatski Telecom in Croatia.
