TPSA growth fuelled by mobile, internet access operations

The company just met its growth target, which was 2-3%, though it failed to inspire enthusiasm among analysts. "It is not a disaster, but the results definitely show that the market has become more competitive," said Dalibor Vavruska, an analyst at ING Bank in London. The revenues from its core fixed-line business, where the company enjoys a near monopoly status, were actually lower by 4.7%, while the PTK Centertel, operator of the Idea mobile network, boosted sales by 31%. Its market share remained stable at 33%. TP's broadband internet access business grew twofold over the year to 240,000 subscribers. (Parkiet, p. 3) A.N.
