The regulator is fining Telekomunikacja for the second time this month, after penalizing the company 200,000 zloty for failing to notify it of changes in phone-call prices. The competition office is also mulling a 356 million-zloty (€91 million) charge for charging excessive fees to customers who subscribed to Telekomunikacja’s Internet without fixed-line voice service. Today’s decision was announced on the regulator’s Web site. Warsaw-based Telekomunikacja said Q4 profit fell 21% to 381 million zloty (€97.45 million) after it cut prices amid tougher competition. The company, controlled by France Telecom SA, is being forced by Poland’s regulator to cut fees and allow competitors access to its fixed-line and Internet network. (Bloomberg)
