Sometimes , we joke that on the day when we announce the launch of a new product , we are already working on another one . That was precisely the case with 10 Gb / s service started this year . It ’ s vital we act quickly because of the way the market is changing .”
Looking to the future , Bartkowiak believes that INEA remains determined to build on its success through the implementation of new projects to enhance the firm ’ s existing telecommunication infrastructure . “ We remain focused on the construction of an open optic-fibre infrastructure . Having won over 20 competitions under the Operating Programme Digital Poland , we are also implementing projects consisting of the expansion of the existing telecommunication infrastructure and reconstruction of the existing one to FTTH standard ,” he says . “ As a result of those projects , we will reach about 700,000 more households located in rural areas with our network . All the schools located on the territory of planned investments will be connected to the network and these are areas that are digitally excluded , where broadband services are unavailable today . The residents of those areas will have access to modern digital services . The method of teaching , handling affairs with authorities or benefiting from entertainment will change and this will completely transform the image of those towns .”
