TPSA hopes to reduce prices and have new billing system within two years

Witold Rataj, Telekomunikacja Polska spokesman announced that the operator wants to lower the price of its services this year. The decision is pe rceived as a step towards increasing TPSA's competitiveness on the lib eralized telecom market. He added that next year the market can expect further price decreases. The operator also hopes to introduce real used time pricing, as opposed to the standardized impulse units that have formed the basis of bills so far. Rataj, however, warned journalists that while the operator wants to cut prices, no final decision has been taken whether this will come into effect this year or next. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B1) P.W.
