Oskar has signed its 100.000th subscriber to its network. 27-year old entrepreneur, Mr. Martin Vacek of Hradec Kralove, said “This is great news especially since Oskar now has 83 % coverage with the best value for money.“ Mr. Vacek will receive up to 300 minutes of free talk time a month for 10 years. In addition he will also receive a gift package, which will include an Oskar watch, T-shirt, baseball cap, slippers and other great stuff!

Oskar reached its 100.000th subscriber only five months after its commercial launch. “Oskar is rapidly becoming a part of Czech communities by offering the best total value through advantageous, simple and affordable services for everybody, everyday,” said Fred Hrenchuk Senior director of Oskar.

Other benefits include:

· No activation fees · No contracts · Per-second billing (after the first minute) · Easy to understand rate plans

Oskar is the first mobile telecommunications operator in the Czech Republic that has launched direct delivery (packages ordered over the phone are delivered to subscribers’ homes or offices and they pay cash-on-delivery) and the first to introduce traveling mobile stores –Oskaravans, which travel throughout the country.

Oskar is the brand name of Cesky Mobil, which launched its commercial service on March 1, 2000. Canadian-based Telesystem International Wireless (TIW) is the managing shareholder of Cesky Mobil.

TIW is a rapidly growing, global mobile communications operator with over 2.9 million subscribers, in four dynamic geographic clusters. The Company's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TIW") and NASDAQ ("TIWI").

In the United Kingdom, TIW was successful in its bid for a UMTS license and has established a company with Hutchison Whampoa Limited. TIW is deploying a pan-European digital specialized mobile radio (ESMR) network through its subsidiary Dolphin Telecom plc. Dolphin currently offers ESMR services in the United Kingdom in addition to analog SMR services in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. In addition to its Dolphin operations, TIW is the strategic and operating partner of the country's fifth largest cellular group in Brazil, with operations in four regions. In Central and Eastern Europe, TIW is the cellular market leader in Romania and recently launched services in the Czech Republic following its award of a GSM 1800 license. The Company is pursuing opportunities in Asia through TIW Asia, an affiliate established in October 1999 with an initial capital commitment in excess of US$420 million.
