History
changeTelekomunikacja Polska was started in December 1991 as a joint stock company under the control of the State Treasury, following the split-up of the communist era state-owned Polska Poczta, Telegraf i Telefon. On 1 January 1992, the company began operations under the name of 'TP SA'. The company changed its ownership structure in 1998 and began trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2000. In the same year, the Treasury sold a 35% stake in TPSA to a consortium of France Télécom and Kulczyk Holding, with the consortium increasing its stake by a further 12.5% in 2001.
On 21 December 2007, TP SA was fined PLN 75 million (approximately EUR 20.7 million) by the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection for discriminating against its competitors on the internet services market.[2]
It was fully privatised in May 2010.[3]
