The Polish cable operator Multimedia Polska has announced that it will launch VOD and HDTV services in the first half of this year. It will then go on to also offer telecom services, employing the incumbent TPSA’s infrastructure, in the second half of 2007. Multimedia Polska is the country’s third largest MSO after UPC and Vectra and ended 2006 with 575,000 subscribers. It has since added at least 39,000 more through last month’s acquisition of Automatic Service for PLN56.5 million (€14.48 million). Multimedia Polska’s net profit in 2006 amounted to €68.64 million. In other developments, ATM Grupa, Poland’s leading independent production company, has announced that its net profits in 2006 amounted to PLN20.95 million, or 76% more than a year earlier. Wroclaw-based Telefonia Dialog, the country’s leading alternative telco, has meanwhile said that it expects to have at least 100,000 Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) customers by the end of this year following a deal concluded with TPSA. Telefonia Dialog also expects to be a quadruple play company with up to 150,000 broadband Internet subscribers by the end of this year. (CD)
