Liberty Global’s acquisition of Multimedia Polska is unlikely to have a major impact on the cable market in Poland.
Instead, said Jerzy Straszewski, the president of the Polish Chamber of Electronic Communications (PIKE), speaking at PIKE 2017, it will make the cable industry stronger and affect the country’s global market in general and the telco market, threatening the position of competitors such as the incumbent telco Orange Polska.
Straszewski also said that he expected the deal, which is being undertaken through Liberty’s UPC Polska, to receive the approval of the Competition Authority UOKiK shortly.
