TP fights competitors with wireless

In line with this increase the popularity of wireless internet access is also on the rise. Currently over half a million Poles are connected by wireless internet services, with mobile phone operators saying several hundred thousand more will make the switch this year. Telekomunikacja Polska (TP) press office chief Wojciech Jabczyñski says that there are currently 200,000 people using the company's wireless internet service and interest is growing quickly. TP recently introduced HDSP technology, promising up to 3,6 MB/s in the biggest Polish cities. It estimates that the increase of revenues from the sale of wireless internet is a way it can battle increasing competition and the drop in revenue form the traditional telecom services. Era, like its rival, is also planning to invest in new mobile technologies. At the end of March the number of users of Blueconnect hit 150,000, by the end of the year this should jump by a further 100,000 subscribers. (Puls Biznesu p.6) M.M.
