Polish cable set to spend

Poland’s five leading cable operators are likely to spend around PLN500 million (â,¬123.6 milion) this year on upgrading their networks.

Gazeta Prawna reports that the money will be used by the five companies â€" UPC, Vectra, Multimedia Polska, Aster and Inea â€" to offer more HD channels and high-speed broadband internet access. At the same time, they are also lowering the prices of their triple play packages, which in some instances now offer savings of up to 30-40% on individual services.

UPC alone is expected to spend up by PLN100 million as the cable market addresses growing competition from both the DTH sector and incumbent telco TP.
