This really makes me happy. Polish public telephone company is using its monopole position and privileges for too long! Poland's TP telecoms giant fined by competition watchdog 08-17-2007, 18h54 Polish competition authorities Friday fined the country's biggest telecoms operator, Telekomunikacja Polska (TP), 33 million zlotys (8.6 million euros, 11.7 million dollars) for hampering rivals' market access. The country's telecoms regulator said it had punished TP, in which France Telecom has a 47.5-percent stake, for its "lack of goodwill in negotiations" with other companies that were seeking access to its network. In a statement, TP said it was "surprised" by the watchdog's ruling and planned to appeal. The former state monopoly provider remains the leading player in Poland's telecoms market and still controls access for fixed line services. It has fallen foul of Polish competition authorities on several previous occasions for allegedly abusing its powerful position. www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=189919&s=&i=&t=Poland's_TP_telecoms_giant_fined_by_competition_watchdog

TP S.A. is still the leading player for fixed lines but this time is coming to the end. More and more people resign from their sevices since the prices for mobiles have dropped and Internet connection can be made without telephone line e.g is offered by cable TV suppliers.
