"Lowering the MTR will be favorable for clients calling from fixed line telephones to mobiles as well as those calling from mobiles to mobiles. A client will pay less especially if we introduce a zero rate," said UKE spokesperson Jacek Strzałkowski.
Inter-operator traffic accounts for 20 percent of revenues. "Lowering the MTR will drag down revenues of TPSA by about zł.800 million next year. In the first year, EBITDA will fall by at least zł.100 million, but in the mid-term growth of traffic should compensate for this drop," said Paweł Puchalski, analyst with DM BZ WBK.
Operators complain that the last decision to cut the rate back in April 2007 was supposed to remain in force until 2010. They plan to analyze UKE's decision to check if it is legally valid.
