Cyfrowy Polsat postpones its mobile services debut

Despite earlier announcements, the company will not introduce its service until mid-2007. "A realistic launch date for the service is mid-2007. The business plan will be ready in December and we should obtain the financing by the end of the year, but the technical preparations will last for several months," revealed Cyfrowy Polsat's president, Dominik Libicki. Thanks to the introduction of mobile phone service, the company will be able to offer a triple-play package. "We decided that triple-play services are the right direction for our development," stated Libicki. Cyfrowy Polsat subscribers are to be the firm's first target group. "It is a natural target group which consists of three million people," declared Libicki. Cyfrowy Polsat closed last year with a loss of zl.42 million, but after 9 months of this year the company's profit amounted to slightly less than zl.55 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) E.B.
