Breakthrough agreement for virtual operators

The supervisory board of PTC has also accepted a contract with yet another virtual mobile operator, said PTC's board spokesperson. Polkomtel has also opened its network to P4, a joint venture of Netia (30%) and Islandish Novator fund (70%). Due to this breakthrough agreement on the mobile phones market, P4 will be able to launch its services as early as Q4 this year. The contract is for five years with an option to extend it for another five years. The companies had been negotiating for quite a long time until P4 filed a complaint to the Electronic Communication Office (Urzad Komunikacji Elektronicznej, UKE) about the duration of the talks, which significantly advanced the process. There are 50 more companies waiting to become mobile communication providers without building their own network. The pioneer contract is expected to pave their wave to success.
