Deutsche Telekom's
supervisory board is to meet next Tuesday to discuss the future of embattled chief executive, Mr Ron Sommer, a source close to the board said today.
"The whole issue around Sommer and the debate around him will have to be discussed," the source said.
The call for the meeting came from a four-person steering committee of the supervisory board, which discussed the growing debate concerning Mr Sommer's responsibility for Telekom's sagging share price last night.
