UPC looks towards mopping up the market

The largest domestic cable operator UPC TK, formerly known as Polska Telewizja Kablowa, plans to consolidate the market again. The company recently took part in the tender for cable networks owned by TPSA and, "If we find attractive offers for buying cable companies we might consider them," said deputy president of UPC TK Marek Sowa. According to company sources, it is also interested in exchanging some of its networks with other operators, like Vectra and Multimedia Polska. The president of Vectra would not comment on the information, while the president of Multimedia Polska, Marek Szeliga, has positive opinion about such a deal. "We have already carried out such a transaction with Łódź-based Toya. If UPC proposes us a similar one, then we might agree," explained Szeliga. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) M.M.
