Reduced investment likely to be part of TPSA strategy

A two-year strategy due to be unveiled officially by Telekomunikacja Polska (TPSA) in mid December commits the telecoms giant to reacting faster to market needs, developing new services and making them more widely available. Puls Biznesu, which has gained advance access to the TPSA report, also reveals that in view of the company's anticipated losses in 2002-2003, there will be a reduction in its planned zl.27 billion investment up to 2003. Other major aspects of the company's strategy have been revealed by TPSA head Marek Jozefiak. During a meeting with investors in London earlier this week, he announced that the integration of TPSA's mobile arm Centertel with Orange, the mobile phone operator owned by France Telecom (FT), would be speeded up.
