Poland - Commercial launch of P4 by the end of Q1 2007

P4, a mobile operator licensed to provide 3G telephony services, intends to have 1,500 base stations by the end of 2007 and to cover 20% of the country’s population in the eight largest cities. It is expected to have 2,500 base stations by the end of 2008.

The company wants to offer its services on a commercial basis by the end of the first quarter of the year, although the precise date is not yet known. P4 has stated that it is not interested in becoming a niche operator, but that it is going to win clients from existing operators. The operator’s CEO, Chris Bannister, announced that P4 is to adopt an aggressive pricing policy to attract clients. According to Presserwis, the operator also plans to spend around PLN 250m (€64.4m) on an advertising campaign.
