TP puts the squeeze on distributors and partners

Although TP claims they are more favorable, its partners are not so sure. TP distributors Veracomp and RRC have lost their monopoly for the sales of services for trading partners, which may lead to their elimination from the partnership channel, or cause their marginalization. Around 200 TP trading partners who have so far bought the services from the distributors may now buy them direct from TP on the same terms and for the same prices. "We believe that our incumbent partners will stay with us. If sales decrease we will consider widening our offer on the services of other operators," said Mariusz Kochański from Veracomp. TP also lowered commissions for its trading partners claiming that the system was adjusted to their expectations. For some services the commission was lowered by almost 50%. Some of the partners complain that it was unfair on the part of TP, since sales have been increasing for the past several months and many of them invested a lot in working with TP.
