TPSA offers new cut-rate packages as competitors prepare to move in
Starting from September 1, subscribers to Telekomunikacja Polska SA (TPSA)
will have a series of new call packages to choose from, including cheaper
Internet access. The more competitive rates are being introduced by TPSA to
bolster its market position at a time when several new operators are about
to enter the market, offering less expensive long-distance connections. TPSA
is responding by offering a 10% reduction in the charge for calls between
domestic cities. Among TPSA's other new initiatives is a selected numbers
service, offering subscribers the chance to choose three numbers within
Poland, calls to which will be charged at a fifth of the normal price. As
for Internet access, a new monthly payment option will be introduced, of
zl.60 for up to 30 hours online. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 21, Rzeczpospolita,
