4th Gsm Licence In Poland (1800 Only)

[Przemolog]

... stated-owned company Telekomunikcja Kolejowa (Railway Telecom), a member of the national railway holding Grupa PKP SA.

The funniest thing is that the winner declared to sell its services to MNVO's whereas it will need national roaming itself. Or, maybe MVNO's will roam on the Big Three and, additionally, on TK where available to increase the capacity...

Exactly, our current government is composed of "catholic socialists" and populists who don't like private property too much (unless their own, of course) :P.
After all, Railway Telecom isn't a bad choice. It has good optic fibre infrastructure along railway tracks countrywide and its competetitors weren't very attractive for the regulator. Orange is strong enough and Dialog Telecom is basically a regional landline operator with no countrywide infrastructure (AFAIK at least).

Moreover, I heard that Railway Telecom is to build a GSM-R network (whatever it is )
and for that purpose it has already a numbering range 666 6xx xxx (very nice, I think :devil: )

It's P4 now (project 4 ) http://www.project4.pl/en/index.htm
Their licence is 3G only but planning to roam on GSM. I think that they may be waiting for regulations for national roaming. They already have assigned prefixes 881-884.
Now they announce start in 4Q 06 (delayed from June 06).
