Aster City Cable profits for 2003 increase 100% from last year

"The growth was achieved largely by acquiring over 13,000 customers to use our IP services, re-negotiating contracts with suppliers and organizational changes, which resulted in cutting costs," said Robert Kołodziej, deputy president of ACC. The company is the nation's third largest broadband Internet provider and expects that 60% of its 270,000 subscribers will have access to this service in 2004. Aster was also the first network to introduce digital cable services and is now working on introducing three new projects using this solution in order to further boost its sales.
