Netia's new network

Netia will be the first service provider in Poland to offer internet protocol multimedia ISM-based services to business customers throughout the country. This allows telecom operators to provide mobile and fixed multimedia services, such as video streaming, digital sound encoding and more, into stationary telephones using an internet connection instead of a phone signal.

"We are going to have this service totally implemented by the beginning of 2006," Krzysztof Kliński, ISM product manager at Netia says. "Even though it will be available to every single Netia customer, we are going to focus on the business sector and try to acquire new customers."

Neither side wanted to reveal the value of the contract, but it is said to be worth several million złoty.
