Elektrim unveils telecom package price list, rates undercut TPSA offerings

According to the new individual clients price list recently revealed by Elektrim S.A., the telecommunications services offered by the company will be cheaper than that of Telekomunikacja Polska S.A. (TPSA). For example, Elektrim will charge zl. 0.33 per impulse for local calls (zl. 0.35 with TPSA) and zl. 0.59 per minute for inter-city calls regardless of distance (zl. 0.59 for zone II and zl. 0.68 for zone III with TPSA). Still, for technical reasons, the new services will not be available to all clients. Elektrim wants to concentrate on integrated services, that is telephone, cable television and high speed internet access. Elektrim will launch its internet portal at the end of this year whereas next year its cable TV, Aster City will provide access to digital television. In Warsaw Elektrim has 260,000 customers using its cable television service and has access to 560,000 dwellings. (Rzeczpospolita, page B2)
