[NYC-L] Kosova TELECOM : Design of New Logo and Slogan

[Dardan Blaku]

How about "Telecom of Kosova" - Five years of robbing you blind!

It is ridiculous how the telecom services in Kosova (one of the poorest 
regions in Europe) are more expensive when compared to any other country 
in the area (and possibly the world).

While their executives build mansions in western countries, drive vehicles 
that many executives in western Europe and the US cannot afford, and when 
they are caught, they can easily afford to pay 50,000 Euros in bail and 
never hear from the courts again, ordinary citizens have to pay hundreds 
of Euros JUST TO GET A PHONE LINE that was damaged during the war...

Then they hire an allegedly U.S. company (no one has heard of) to set up 
wireless services for the province (and somehow, they trick Kosova's 
president to attend the signing ceremony - hmmm, is he involved as well?)

Give me a break... a "publicly owned enterprise" should work for the 
public, not for the few unqualified nepotists on the top.

The only way they can change "as part of the process of establishing 
itself as a new / separate business entity" is by dropping their 
ridiculous rates...
