TP's plans 2006 launch for its triple-play services

TP has already started to prepare VoIP services in cooperation with Italtel and Cisco. "The introduction of the services will allow TP to maintain its market position," stated Krzysztof Kaczmarczyk from DS Securities. TP also began to lease so-called liveboxes (modems which provide fast access to Internet in wireless WiFi technology) to its customers. According to Puls Biznesu, TP is also in talks with largest domestic TV stations on the supply of TV content. Kaczmarczyk estimates that new services may generate around zł.100 million for TP within a year. The TP offer will be a threat to cable operators which just began to introduce their triple-play services. "TP along with Orange have three times more subscribers than all cable and satellite operators. It dominates the market in terms of coverage and will be a serious competitor, particularly for small and medium-sized cable operators and satellite platforms," stated UPC Polska deputy president Marek Sowa.
