About Multimedia

Multimedia is a leading nationwide cable operator, provider of digital television with video on demand, broadband and mobile data, and fixed-line and mobile voice (mobilFON). We were the first operator in the country to offer High Definition Television (HDTV) with many add-on modalities, such as video on demand (VoD), personal video recorder (PVR) etc.

The Company has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since 2006.

We are following the strategy of active consolidation, construction of cable networks in new regions, and network acquisitions. In the third quarter of 2009 the number of homes passed by Multimedia networks reached over 1.1 million HPs as a result. Service bundling and new products implemented into Multimedia’s offering in 2007, such as digital cable television (DTV) and video on demand (VoD), are also increasingly gaining popularity.
