Hello,
 The article above is good summary of what had happened so far. 
If you are asking for technical details, I'm not sure if there have been 
released any (although I only have access to online material since I 
don't live in greece any more). 

Some links to articles that summarize the testimonies of vodafone's and 
ericsson's CEO's to the greek pariament follow.
