Mobile operators turn to government ( Poland ) for 3G delay

Poland s three mobile operators turning to the government to help get a one-year
delay for the launch of 3G services, the Warsaw Business Journal is reporting.

Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa (PTC), Polkomtel and PTK Centertel confirmed
they have sent a petition to the Infrastructure Ministry asking it to persuade the
telecoms regulator to postpone 3G roll out until January 2005. The companies say
3G-enabled handsets and infrastructure will need huge investments to be ready in
time for the current December 2003 deadline set out in their licences.

The operators turned to the ministry after filing a request with the
Telecommunications Regulatory Office (URT) in September for a delay. The
officer had 60 to respond, but has yet to make a decision. Although the ministry has
no authority to force a ruling from the regulator, the operators hope its pressure
might speed things up.

A URT spokesman said he didn t know when his office would have a decision. He
said the request was still being investigated and the office would have to examine
the 3G launch plans in other countries.
The operators say as much as $2.7bn (E3.1bn) will have to go into UMTS
networks if they are to be ready in time for late 2003.
