Health | Diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus immunizations (DPT or DT shots) are not "live" and are considered by some to be safe for those being treated for cancer. (references) | |
Economic History | Croatia | FDI inflow peaked in 1999 because of the sale of the government's 35 percent of shares in Hrvatske Telekomunikacije (HT) for USD 850 million to Deutsche Telekom (DT). In 2001, DT purchased another 16 percent for 500 million EUROs (USD 422 million). (references) |
Germany | Scores of foreign and domestic companies have invested in that sector, although the government continues to hold a 43 percent stake in the former monopolist Deutsche Telekom (DT). Since then, DT has lost more than one third of the long-distance market to competitors, but maintains a 98.7 percent hold over the "local loop." Competition also came to the electricity markets in April 1998, and foreign firms have invested in it, though with some difficulty, owing to the high fees to access incumbents' networks. (references) | |
Political Economy | GERMANY | From that time on, the government has reduced its ownership share of the former monopoly DT to 42 percent in several tranches. (references) |
