Press Release Summary: SADIF-Investment Analytics SA has applied its StockMarks(tm)
stock-rating system to Deutsche Telekom and produced a research report, rating the
company's attractiveness to long-term investors.

Press Release Body: Mira, Portugal - October 30, 2008 - SADIF Investment Analytics
SA, today announced the release of a new equity research report covering Deutsche
Telekom (DTE). The report utilizes SADIF's powerful StockMarks(tm) stock rating system
and is required reading for any current or potential Deutsche Telekom investor.

Report Summary: German-based Deutsche Telekom is Europe's largest
telecommunications company. On October 10th the company confirmed its earlier 2008
profit forecast of EUR 19.3B. CEO Rene Obermann also stated that Deutsche Telekom is
"solidly financed". Investors took these statements with a grain of salt, hammering
the shares down thirteen percent on the day of the announcement. Since then however,
the stock has rebounded thirty percent. Promising wireless results from US
telecommunications company Verizon on October 28th may signal that fears over
Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile operations in the US are overblown, but fear over the
company's European operations remain. Deutsche Telekom was also recently involved in
a data theft scandal which has left the company's name tarnished in its German home
market. The company has already suffered a three percent decline in revenues during
the first half of the year. Furthermore, during the second quarter of 2008 Deutsche
Telekom's second largest European customer base, the UK, saw zero growth over the
same period a year earlier and was down almost two percent from the first quarter of
2008. Although this was offset by growth in other European countries, the rapid
deterioration of economic conditions throughout the continent during the third
quarter has aroused fears that the company may miss targets when it reports on
November 6th. Given the investor skittishness surrounding Deutsche Telekom recently,
we should look to the company's long-term fundamentals to aide us in making an
investment decision. We can assess the company through the use of the StockMarks
framework. Deutsche Telekom currently has an overall long-term
investment-attractiveness rating (Total StockMark or SMT) of 65, placing above the
German market average.

The complete report breaks down the Total StockMark into its three components -
Business, Management and Price, performing a thorough analysis of Deutsche Telekom
for long-term investors.
