Mobile Infrastructure Sharing Deal A Boon To Solorz-Zak Empire

摘要

Polish mobile network operators Polkomtel and Aero2 have signedna five-year agreement under which they will share core networkninfrastructure. Importantly, the arrangement will deliver substantialncost savings to newcomer Aero2 as it will be able to use Polkomtel'snnetwork to reach more towns and cities without having to build itsnown points of presence. However, BMI believes the deal has deepernimplications for the companies' common shareholder, media mogulnZygmunt Solorz-Zak, as it has the potential to deliver additionalncapacity and cost-savings benefits to his other telecoms businesses,nwhich include pay-TV and wireline telephony.
