TP SA replies to ISP's "open letter" and accusations of high prices

Telecom giant TP SA has answered the opened letter signed by a majority of internet service providers and Internet portals, which accused the company of acting against the development of the domestic Internet sector. TP SA not only rejected the idea to begin negotiations with the authors of the letter, but appears to have done a good job in defending itself from most of the charges. According to the operator the main accusation, the high costs of access to the TPNET internet network, is not justified as, "These costs have halved in recent years and will continue to fall". TP SA went on to say that comparing its prices and those in other countries is not the right approach as the company has to act in accordance with the reality of the Polish market. By the end of March the Competition and Consumer Protection Office (UOKiK) begun legal proceedings concerning the case of prices. It is unknown when will this case will come to an end.
