Multimedia Polska adds telecom services to its offer

Multimedia Polska (MP), the second largest cable television operator, is entering a new market segment, as it will offer telecom services to the residents of Gorzów Wielkopolski. The company hopes to win as many as 5,000 clients by the end of the year. The firm declined to comment on its further plans related to telecom services, but cautiously declared that a lot would depend on time and finding necessary partners. "The choice of the city was made due to its excellent technical infrastructure," said MP president Marek Szeliga. With regards to its present expansion, the firm will receive help from TeleNet Polska, as both entities have a common owner, American investment fund EVL. MP proposes free local connections to all networks (100 minutes monthly) and a standard per second billing. It is also the first company to offer so-called triple play, (cable TV, Internet and telecom services) which will be further supplemented with discounts. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) M.M.
