Who will benefit from Tele-PERN's bankruptcy?
"We are negotiating with several entities to settle the disputes out of court. Tele-PERN wants to fight for the market with existing operators and thus we need investment and development capital. Due to this we are awaiting a decision of the shareholder, PERN Przyjazn which has a 100% stake in the company, concerning capital injection into our business,"said Krzysztof Krywko, president of Tele-PERN. Representatives of PERN suggest the company will have to announce bankruptcy, while analysts are surprised. "The situation is unusual. Telecom IT infrastructure is constructed along the pipeline and not utilizing it for selling services is a waste. Based on conspiracy theory, one could imagine that announcing bankruptcy aims at allowing somebody else to take over infrastructure. It is known that interested parties are Netia, TeliaSonera and MNI," aid Andrzej Piotrowski from Adam Smith Center. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
