	France Telecom's TPSA to cut 5,700 jobs in Poland over three years - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		TPSA said the job cuts will be made through voluntary redundancies, as part of a programme 'accepted by the majority of the trade union organisations' active in the company.
		Since France Telecom bought its stake in TPSA in 2000, the Polish operator has drastically reduced its workforce, from 70,000 employees to 27,400 at the end of September 2006.
		TPSA is still the biggest company in the Polish telecoms sector, with 11.24 mln fixed line subscribers and over 11 mln customers on the Orange mobile network.

	Brief History of Poland
		TPSA employees would receive free of charge up to 15% of the shares, as required by the Law of Privatization and Commercialization.
		As of April 1, 1997, the ownership responsibility for TPSA was transferred from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to the Ministry of Treasury.
		This is seen as a way for the government to ensure that TPSA shares are sold off at their highest value and contribute as much as possible to the state budget to support the reform of the social security system.

		Návrh zmien ráta s tým, že TPSA bude alternatívnym telekomunikačným operátorom účtovať veľkoobchodné ceny za to, že budú využívať jej infraštruktúru.

	Fitch IBCA Ratings - Press Releases - Ratings Assigned To TPSA Senior Notes By Fitch IBCA
		The proceeds from the issue are to be used to refinance existing borrowing, to fund TPSA's programme of expanding its fixed line network and to make capital contributions to PTK-Centertel to fund growth in its mobile telephony operations.
		Even with these advantages, TPSA faces the challenges of successfully reorganising a cumbersome corporate structure (on the basis of function rather than geography) and improving its focus on customers to mitigate the competitive threats.
		As the national telecoms operator, TPSA has a strategic importance and a solid business and financial position that is unlikely to be eroded in the short term.

	Fitch IBCA Ratings - Press Releases - TPSA Ratings Assigned By Fitch IBCA
		TPSA has a monopoly to provide international services until January 2003, but will probably relinquish its monopoly for domestic long distance calls during 1999.
		This is a result of a past lack of investment and TPSA has an ambitious, but essentially feasible, expansion programme that aims to raise teledensity to 40% by 2007.
		TPSA's analogue network does have the widest coverage, but Centertel's future success lies in its DCS service (operations began in March 1998) and there is a reasonable likelihood that it will be awarded the last remaining GSM licence.

	Seattle Prostate Institute - PCa Commentary
		On 5/2003 the tPSA was 3.9 ng.ml, a 42% reduction, and the %fPSA was 7.9%.
		Twenty five men showed a mean reduction of 53% in tPSA (8.1 to 4.3 ng/ml) and their fPSA/tPSA ration was unchanged at 25%, consistent with the observation that in BPH the tPSA and fPSA should decline by a similar proportion.
		Finasteride effects shrinkage of the BPH tissue, thus diminishing its contribution to tPSA, and thereby unmasks the worrisome signature of possible prostate cancer.

		RESULTS: In the group GI tPSA sensitivity and specificity were 94.4% and 19.5% at the cut-off level of 4ng/ml and 100% and 6% at 2.5ng/ml.
		In the group GII the ratio f/tPSA was not able to increase the specificity of tPSA at a cut-off level of 4ng/ml without an expressive reduction of sensitivity.
		The cut-off level of 2.5ng/ml for tPSA combined with f/tPSA ratio of 19% in prostates >40ml and 16% in prostates <40ml was a better option for prostate biopsy indication than tPSA at a cut-off of 4ng/ml associated or not with f/tPSA ratio.

		In response, TPSA introduced a new tariff, TP biznes, which calculates connection costs per second, and halved the call connection charge to Zl 0.1.
		TPSA’s offer to businesses that have around 25 phone lines is the most expensive of all operators (averaging Zl 345 per line per month).
		TPSA has fine-tuned its services, such as offering free weekends in exchange for a higher subscription fee, and has begun to address shortcomings in its much-criticised “Blue Line” help-line, and has even changed its logo.

	Liberalization & Deregulation
		In the first stage of the privatization process (October 1999) 15% of the company's stock was sold in a public offer (IPO) directed to the Polish (1/3 of the offer) and foreign investors, and the further 15% of the company's stock was taken over by the entitled company's employees.
		In the second, currently running, stage of the privatization of TPSA, the State Treasury plans the sale of 35% of the company's stock to a foreign strategic investor chosen in an open tender procedure, as announced on 6 January 2000.
		For domestic long-distance telecommunications, Polish legislation requires the operator to be at least 51% Polish-owned and a majority of the board of directors to be Polish citizens resident in Poland.

	Polands TPSA 4Q Net Profit Down (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		TPSA had missed its 2003 and 2004 revenue targets as erosion of its dominant fixed-line business outpaced rapid growth of its mobile arm Centertel and data-transmission business.
		TPSA reported fixed-line revenues of PLN2.35 billion in the fourth quarter, down 12% on the previous year - a slightly steeper decline than the full-year fall of 11.7%.
		TPSA's fourth-quarter net profit of PLN512 million and full-year 2005 net profit of PLN2.32 billion cited earlier in this story are those accruing only to TPSA's shareholders, net of minority shareholders in companies owned by the TPSA group.

	Complexed PSA improves prostate cancer detection: results from a multicenter Japanese clinical trial.
		A total of 760 men whose serum total PSA (tPSA) values ranged from 1.0 to 100 ng/mL were enrolled.
		The area under the curve was calculated for comparison of the tPSA and cPSA values.
		At a sensitivity of 85% to 95%, significant differences were found in the corresponding specificity between tPSA and cPSA.

	Complexed PSA Test, cPSA, More Accurate Than Regular Test, Study Finds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Sensitivity can be increased by lowering the tPSA "cutoff" value at which a physician suspects cancer, but doing so will decrease specificity, since it will also increase the number of men suspected of cancer but who don't actually have it.
		For example, for men whose tPSA levels were in range of 2 to 4 ng/ml (cPSA range 1.5 to 3.2 ng/ml), using a cutoff of 2.2 ng/ml for cPSA and 2.5 ng/ml for tPSA resulted in both tests correctly identifying cancer 85 percent of the time, which is considered highly sensitive.
		Within the tPSA range of 2.5 to 4 ng/ml (230 cases) the AUC for cPSA (0.61) was significantly larger than that for tPSA (Roche 0.51, Bayer 0.54) but did not differ from the AUC of f/tPSA (Roche).

		Measurements of tPSA and fPSA were done with the AxSYM test, whereas cPSA was measured with the ACS 180 cPSA assay.
		In all, >92% of the cancers treated with radical prostatectomy were organ confined, and the histologic grading of the tumors ranged from moderately to poorly differentiated with Gleason scores from 5 to 9.
		This study demonstrated that to maintain a given sensitivity level for cPSA and tPSA in the age ranges studied, continuous upward adjustment of the cutoffs was required as age increased.

	Two bid for TPSA - Mar. 31, 2000
		TPSA shares were fixed at 37.8 zlotys in Warsaw Friday, valuing a 35 percent stake at 18.5 billion zlotys ($4.47 billion).
		However, analysts said the government is expected to drop the price considerably to secure a strong overseas partner to hasten the restructuring of TPSA, which was partially privatized in 1998.
		While TPSA is viewed as a premium asset because of rapid growth in the Polish market, increasing competition and the firm's heavy investment needs have tempered international phone companies' interest and led many to question the government's fund-raising target.
