The tidal wave of mobile communications has washed into Central and Eastern Europe. ClearWave holds interests in MobiFon, Romania's first wireless network using the GSM (global system for mobile communications) standard. With more than 1.3 million subscribers, MobiFon is the country's leading mobile phone operator. ClearWave has also swept into the Czech Republic, where its Cesky Mobil unit has more than 540,000 subscribers. Combined, MobiFon and Cesky Mobil give ClearWave more than 1 million subscribers. Future markets include Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Turkey. Telesystem International Wireless (TIW) controls 81% of the voting stock -- and 46% of the equity -- in Clearwave, which was formed in 1999.
