CDP promises additional $100 million IT investment, denies interest in Formus

Telecommunications company Crowley Data Poland (CDP), which has already invested $50 million in a radio network allowing fast IT access, intends to increase its investment by a further $100 million. Using the fibre optic cables of Telekomunikacja Polska (TPSA) and Tel-Energo, CDP offers its data radio transmission service in Warsaw, Trojmiasto, Wroclaw, Poznan, Krakow and Katowice. CDP representatives deny reports that the company is interested in buying Formus Polska, another big player on the market which is currently losing customers. "It has been constructed in a different way. But we are ready to take over its clients," company representatives said. CDP's main rival is rapidly-expanding Pro Futuro, controlled by NFI Jupiter.
