The Queen of Pop is performing in Prague on August 13, but already from this week ten employees from the Operations and Site Maintenance department of Telefónica O2 are preparing a telecommunications setup at the Natural Amphitheater Chodov.
Telefónica O2 has the task of setting up communications for Madonna and her entire team. Based on their requests, the following will be available at the site of the concert:
- 24 phone lines with direct dial, keypads, and call waiting
- 10 analogue phone lines with tone direct dial for faxing
- 14 DSL lines with speeds of 8Mbps/512kbps, including modems
"We have plenty of experience providing telecommunications services for major events like concerts, festivals, and sporting events. For instance, we provided this service for this year's Davis Cup, and at O2 Sázavafest in Ostrava," says Petr Slováček, Vice-President of Operations, Telefónica O2 Czech Republic, adding, "But I must add that there's no point in writing or calling us - we are not giving out Madonna's phone number!"

Madonna is returning to Prague three years after two sold-out
concerts in the Sazka Arena. This year, however, the Queen of
Pop is performing her megaconcert in the Czech Republic under
the open sky.
"This is a first for me. I have never prolonged a concert
tour. I'm happy to be back on the road, visiting places I've
never been before and returning to the places I love,"
says Madonna.
An incredible 2,350,285 fans in 58 cities attended the Sticky
& Sweet Tour shows. Ticket sales broke records throughout
the world - for the South American leg of the tour alone
650,000 tickets were sold. The special guest for the Sticky
& Sweet 2009 Tour is one of the biggest names in today's
club scene, Paul Oakenfold, who has remixed songs by The
Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, and many others. Paul Oakenfold is
one of the biggest DJ names in the world and this year he is
preparing the release of his new album Pop Killer.
