Broadband Internet access to grow rapidly

Deputy Infrastructure Minister Wojciech Hałka believes that the number of broadband subscribers will increase from around 460,000 at present to 1.6 million in 2006. Meanwhile, TPSA expects to sign up 1 million customers for its broadband service in that time. Broadband Internet access is one of the fastest growing telecom services, with TP SA recording a 72% year-on-year increase in revenues in 2003. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B4) T.J.
