Polish cellcos Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa (PTC) and Orange Poland, a unit of former telecoms monopoly Telekomunikacja Polska, have signed a letter of intent to cooperate on Network Infrastructure and radio frequency sharing.
The companies have filed a proposal with
the Polish Competition Office for permission to establish a joint
venture which will be responsible for operating both operators' radio
access networks (RANs).
According to the cellcos, as a result of
the cooperation, customers will have access to a better quality
network, while at the same time increasing network effectiveness. It
will also allow for faster infrastructure development and will deliver
to both companies cost savings amounting to 'hundreds of millions of
zloty over the next five years.'
According to the preliminary
arrangements, both companies will have a 50% stake in the new joint
venture company, which would build, operate and maintain co-used
networks within the mutual cooperation.
The companies have agreed that the scope
of the cooperation initiative will be limited to technical aspects and
will allow the partners to: widen the coverage area, which will support
the delivery of modern services, including Mobile
broadband, to a greater number of customers; reduce costs and maximize
the efficiency of investments through joint planning of new investments
and network upgrades; and continue to own their respective
infrastructure while reducing network operating costs.
