I smell DSL

Time slows down when passing by certain countries. This issue is at least four years old. At first Serb operators were visibly operating antennas inside Kosovo, which were eventually taken down last year. Now in a letter to the illegal mobile operators from beyond Kosovo's borders PTK asks these companies:

"The PTK has verified that you are operating illegally in Kosovo, where the only licensed operator is the PTK," the letter reads. "We have made surveys and we know precisely how you have increased the antenna transmission power in order to transmit waves within the territory of Kosovo." (ECIKS)

On another telecom news,

[Slovenia Telecom has] purchased the majority shares of Ipko Net for euro19.5 million (about $25 million), with euro10 million ($13 million) earmarked for investments in improving the infrastructure in the next two years, according to a statement issued by the province's company.

According to the official press release, the two companies are interested in bidding for the second mobile operator license. For Kosovo this is one of the better possible results, I think.
