DR demands zł.9 million from TPSA for failure to provide service grid

According to the alternative telecom operator, TP has not made a part of the national grid KST available on schedule. The grid would have enabled DR to provide local telecommunication services. In the first stage DR will demand compensation of zł.9 million, and consisting of two elements. "Pre-selection service was to be provided in cooperation with a partner. Due the fact that TP has not made the system available, we could not meet our obligations," said Andrzej Bińkowski, managing director of DR. This partner is Dealcom, which is demanding zł.5 million in compensation from DR, who believes the sum should be paid by TP. The other element of the compensation demand is zł.3.87 million in potential proceeds from a share issue which was to be purchased by British sector investor Nordic. In total, claims for compensation might reach as much as zł.190 million. (Parkiet, p. 1) M.M.
