Who we are
The founders of IPA Communications view themselves as driving forces in the industry; individuals who can – and want to – make a positive contribution to European development.
Kurt Bodinger
He began his career in telecommunication in 1976. Starting out as a young technician, he later went on to work in marketing and sales, and ultimately founded the company, IP Austria, which became Austria’s first IP provider, in the year 2000.
Richard Polasek
Once a developer who worked for Siemens in the Plant Engineering department, he soon switched to being a development manager in the field of mobile telecommunication, and later on as a database specialist for Bet and Win. Today he serves as IP Austria’s CEO.
“The goal is to supply Switzerland, Austria and Germany, which form center of an innovative and prospering economy hub, with high-tech solutions, thereby providing these nations and their populations with more than simple internet access.”
