The patch looks good.

Did you find any other users of this technology aside from Slovak Telekom?

A survey of the commercial use of the technology, which seems to be basically overtaken by LTE, is at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency-division_multiplexing#FLASH-OFDM
.

There was a Finnish deployment of FLASH-OFDM that was converted to CDMA a short time after.
