fixed-line Ericsson contracts. This is the second time we prolonged this
managed-services partnership, and it is a clear acknowledgement from Netia
of the work
we have done together to provide high-quality, unified services to Netia
Group's
entire user base, including the users added through Netia's recent
acquisition
of operators Telefonia Dialog and Crowley."
