Polkomtel breaks 10 million subscriber barrier

In total, the number of subscribers exceeded 10 million, while its competitors Era GSM and Orange crossed this figure last year and in Q1 2006 respectively. "We are keeping our forecast of acquiring 2 million new clients in 2006, but the market is growing at a pace that the figure might be even higher," said Miroslaw Bielicki, deputy president of Polkomtel. In his opinion, revenues of the company will be higher than the zl.6.5 billion recorded last year. So far, Polkomtel was the only company that did not suffer a decrease in revenues per subscriber, but now that the increment in the number of users is higher the trend can be reversed. According to available data, other mobile phone operators acquire new clients at a similar pace. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) M.M
