Energis Polska to pick up euro 23 million long-distance license

Today the management of Energis Polska is to finally decide to collect its euro 23 million license for long-distance telecom services. Energis, which is a joint venture of Polish State Railways (PKP) and the British National Grid, earlier declared that it would collect the license and pay for it, provided the Telecoms Ministry fixed interconnection fees and determined the billing scheme. Telecoms Minister Tomasz Szyszko has already informed the company that these conditions have been fulfilled. "Hopefully, nothing unfortunate will happen and we'll be able to pay for and collect the license," said Energis Polska President George Makowski. (Puls Biznesu, p.3) A.Z.
