(Puls Biznesu, p. 12)...The largest cable network operator in Poland, United Pan Communication (UPN), has declined to include the Polish edition of German music station Viva Polska in its program offer. UPC's decision is thought to result from its project with MTV Networks Europe to create MTV Polska, likely to be in direct competition with Viva Polska. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9)...Steszew-based furniture manufacturer Nova-E has spent DM 3 million on a new plant. As a result of the investment the firm, which employs some 200 people, will be able to boost production by up to 4,000 sets of furniture a month. (Prawo I Gospodarka, p.2) A.Z.
