PTC's "Blue Connect" service expects to win a 25% share of the market

"Our objective is to become the most appreciated supplier of services and telecommunication solutions," said Martin Schneider, PTC management board member. On Monday, the company officially launched its broadband Internet access services under the name of "Blue Connect". PTC estimates that there will be over 19 million Internet users in Poland by 2012, while the number of households with Internet access will increase to 4.8 million. On Tuesday the company placed its bid for the remaining UMTS and GSM frequencies, but it is still criticizing the terms of the tender. In order to find out whether the tender's regulations favor market newcomers, the company will ask different institutions in Poland and in Brussels for opinion. (Parkiet, p. 4) M.M.
