Skype hype - but competitors not worried for now

"We have 3.2 million registered users. The country is number two among 210 countries and regions, in which the tool is used," said Hanah McCree from London office of Skype. Because of this Poland is among the few countries in the world in which the producer will begin introducing new functions such as video conferencing and solutions for business. Competitors, which offer poorer quality of connections, are treating Skype with respect but they are far from panicking. "We are better adjusted to the reality of the domestic market. On the other hand, Skype, which is hosting servers outside Poland, avoids the necessity of paying inflated fees to TPSA, which will result in further decrease in the prices of services," said Jacek Świderski, O2.pl management board member.
