Netia announces significant reductions in off-peak tariffs
WARSAW, Poland - March 31, 2000 - Netia Holdings SA (Nasdaq: NTIA), Poland¿s largest alternative fixed-line telephone operator, today announced significant reductions in tariffs for off-peak fixed-to-mobile and domestic long-distance calls between the hours of 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
Netia¿s tariff changes follow the simplified off-peak tariff structure to be introduced by TP S.A. starting April 1, 2000. The Netia Blue Plan continues to match TP S.A.¿s standard tariffs, while the Netia Green Plan combines a slightly higher monthly fee with lower usage charges.
Starting April 1, 2000 Netia will reduce the charges for DLD and fixed-to-mobile calls by approximately 33% between 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM daily. New charges, net of VAT, are as follows:
| Type of call | Fee per minute (PLN) | |||
| Blue plan | Green plan | |||
| Old | New | Old | New | |
| DLD calls to II zone (up to 100 km) | 0,36 | 0,24 | 0,35 | 0,23 |
| DLD calls to III zone (above 100 km) | 0,48 | 0,32 | 0,46 | 0,31 |
| Fixed to mobile calls | 1,05 | 0,70 | 0,99 | 0,66 |
