Polish mobile market likely to shrink in 2009

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: The Polish mobile market is likely to shrink for the first time in 2009 driven by aggressive mobile termination rate cuts by the regulator along with the global recession, Grazyna Piotrowska-Oliwa, head of TPSA’s PTK Centertel reportedly said.

“I think that due to MTR (mobile termination rate) cuts, the fall in revenue for the whole Polish mobile market will equal 2.0-2.5 billion zlotys this year,” she said.
“It will be extremely hard to compensate for that… If the market ends this year flat, excluding the MTR effect, it would be very good. Taking MTRs into account, the value of the mobile market should fall by a few percent,” she further revealed.
