Polkomtel's latest offer may fail to make the grade

The offer, called Superkarta and Superkarta Biznes, is addressed to individual clients and small businesses respectively. The operator is trying to lure potential clients by offering per second pricing and relatively cheap connections within the Polkomtel network and to fixed lines. The subscription fee ranges between zł.30-79 depending on type of the contract and all users are required to sign a 12 month contract. The advantages of the new offer appear rather weak when compared with much cheaper prepaid cards. However, Plus GSM deputy president Mirosław Bielicki underlines that the new services has benefits other than simply financial ones. Polkomtel declined to comment on how many new clients its expects this new service to win over. (Puls Biznesu p. 11; Rzeczpospolita, p. B6) M.G.
