Tele2 demands TP SA be fined zł.200 million

Karol Wieczorek, the spokesperson for Tele2, announced that the leading domestic operator is breaching the law by connecting local calls of subscribers who earlier decided to use Tele2 services. This is because these subscribers are supposed to press 0 before dialling the regional code. If they do not do that, they should hear information on how to correctly choose the number. Instead they are automatically connected by TP SA, which charges its rates. "Due to technical problems we are unable to currently introduce the comm unique concerning the lack of possibility to connect locally," claims TP's spokeswoman Barbara Górska. She went on to say that it is the responsibility of Tele2 to properly inform its clients how to use their service. TP SA representatives say that they will change the local connections dialling system on December 31, 2005. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.K.
