Orange provides thrifty internet service in deregulated regions

The broadband internet service in 78 municipalities in Poland has been deregulated. This includes many of the major cities (e.g. Warsaw, Wrocław, Katowice). Lower prices will be available for consumers in these regions in accordance with the new rules and packaged by Orange in a "Geopromotion." A month of 80 Mb/s internet service will cost PLN 39.99 with Orange's new Neostrada offer (2-year contract), reported ISBnews. The Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) decided to lift a requirement that obligated Orange to allow competitors access to its broadband network in certain agglomerations. The dominant network operators in these cities were cable tv providers who were untouched by the existing regulations.
