The U.S. company VoiceStream (including Powertel), which had been consolidated for the first time for one month in the second quarter of 2001, had approximately 6 million customers on June 30, 2001. VoiceStream/Powertel thus posted a greater than 70% increase in customers over the first half of last year. Compared to the five other national U.S. mobile communications providers, this was by far the greatest percentage increase. Deutsche Telekom’s fixed network business continued to expand. With an increase of over 60% over year-end 2000, Deutsche Telekom made strong progress in DSL contracts sold. The number of ISDN channels continued to increase significantly. Compared with the first half of 2000, the number of ISDN channels rose by 4 million to 19.3 million, representing 38% of the total telephone lines in Germany. The residential customer segment represents the growth driver in this market. Growth has also continued unabated for the ‘Aktiv Plus’ calling plan. The number of subscribers increased by over 4.7 million to 6.8 million compared with the same period of the previous year. At the end of the first half of the financial year, 335,000 customers were using T-Online International’s T-DSL flat rate. Of these, just under 150,000 were attributable to the second quarter of 2001 alone. High growth rates were also posted for other tariffs, such as the ‘Surftime’ rates introduced on March 1, 2001. 06/30/01 06/30/00 12/31/00 06/30/01/ 06/30/00 million million million in % f) Telephone lines 55.0 53.0 53.9 3.8 Deutsche Telekom (channels) 50.4 48.5 49.4 3.9 Aktiv Plus customers 6.8 2.1 4.5 223.8 T-DSL contracts 1.0 0.1 0.6 900.0 ISDN channels 19.3 15.3 17.3 26.1 Matav 2.9 2.9 2.9 0.0 Slovak Telekom b) 1.7 1.6 1.6 6.3 Mobile subscribers Majority-owned 43.9 27.4 37.9 60.2 Subsidiaries a)b) of which: T-D1 22.1 13.4 19.1 64.9 of which: One 2 One 9.4 6.1 8.3 54.1 of which: VoiceStream/ 6.0 3.5 4.8 71.4 Powertel b) of which: max.mobil. 2.1 1.8 2.1 16.7 of which: Westel c) 2.1 1.3 1.7 61.5 of which: RadioMobil b) 2.2 1.3 1.9 69.2 Proportion of subscribers d) 47.2 28.8 39.8 63.9 Total mobile subscribers e) 58.7 33.9 46.9 73.2 T-Online subscribers 9.2 6.3 7.9 46.0 of which: T-Online 7.6 5.5 6.5 38.2 of which: Club Internet 0.7 0.5 0.6 40.0 of which: Ya.com b) 0.8 0.3 0.7 166.7 of which: others 0.1 0.0 0.1 n.a. a) Subscribers of fully consolidated mobile communications companies b) The companies were not yet fully consolidated in the first half of 2000, but have been presented pro forma for better comparability (VoiceStream/Powertel and RadioMobil for the entire year of 2000 as well) c) Held directly and indirectly via MATAV d) Subscribers of mobile communications companies (consolidated and non consolidated subsidiaries) in proportion to shareholding e) Total subscribers of fully consolidated mobile communications companies and total number of subscribers of other mobile communications companies in which minority interests are held f) Percentages on the basis of rounded figures With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in this release are forward-looking statements that involve risks identified in Deutsche Telekom’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly in its most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F. ——————————————————————————– WKN: 555750; Index: DAX, EURO STOXX 50 Listed: Amtlicher Handel in Berlin, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Stuttgart und München; EUREX; New York (ADS); Tokio; Toronto 310749 Jul 01
