NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, France -- Netgem, a leader in connected home technologies and solutions, announced that Netia will today start rolling out its new TV service based on Netgem's technologies in Poland, a telecom market that was previously operated as a monopoly and has just opened to competition.

In Poland, mobile penetration is higher than 120% and value added services are growing at a high double digit rate. Netia has built its strategy on developing its user base of fixed broadband households and has now become the most significant competitor to the incumbent operator.

Netia is bundling subscriptions offering high-speed broadband access with unlimited calls and now, using Netgem services, the Polish operator will launch the third component of its triple play offering. This new television service launches ahead of the UEFA European Football Champions League which comes to Poland next year and should provide an additional incentive for Netia's customers to sign up to its multi-screen television services.
