The Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) has initiated proceedings against Cyfrowy Polsat, the country’s leading DTH platform.
According to Wirtualne Media, the UOKiK objects to a specific clause in the contract Cyfrowy Polsat requires its subscribers to sign.
It gives the platform the right to withdraw TV channels or radio stations from its offer for a number of reasons, including low viewing/listening figures and reasons beyond Cyfrowy Polsat’s control.
Cyfrowy Polsat, which could be fined up to 10% of its annual income, has said it has been in negotiations with the UOKiK over a number of months about the contract and plans to introduce a new one shortly.
