http://www.telecomdirectnews.com/do.php/100/16151

Applicants are:

Telefonia Dialog - a landline operator (wholly owned by copper conglomerate KGHM which is also a large shareholder of Polkomtel - Plus GSM),

PTK Centertel (Orange Poland)

Telekomunikacja Kolejowa (Railway Telecom - the telecoms unit of the national railway company PKP)

P4 (renamed from Netia Mobile), the owner of the 4th Polish 3G licence resigned to apply for a GSM licence this time. P4 claims that it made serious progress in setting a national GSM roaming agreement with one of the existing GSM operators.

What do you mean by "favourite" - the one I'd like to win or the one which has the greatest chance to win ?
Well, in I think that in either case it will not be Orange (unless it pays crazy money ).
Dialog is OK but it's rather close to Polkomtel (by the common shareholder) so it won't be a very real competitor .

And Railway Telecom has some good reputation as an internet provider, but Polish Railways have no good reputation at all :P. And one more important issue - the company is state owned and the current Polish goverment supported by rather xenophobic "catholic socialists" and populists may go Belarussian-like Best way in the case :unsure:

AFAIK July 2006 but no details about the offer known yet.

BTW, I wonder what P4 stands for? I guess it's an abbreviation for something like "Polish 4th UMTS Operator" .
