Poland - Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations - Statistics and Analyses

Poland's liberalised telecom market has seen considerable development in the broadband and mobile sectors. The incumbent telco, Orange Poland, dominates the broadband market and has invested in fibre infrastructure to support the growing adoption of bundled services among customers.

The regulatory environment has been shaped by EU principles designed to facilitate competition, allowing competing operators to enter the market. This extended to opening Orange Poland's fibre network to access and pricing regulation, while in May 2019 the regulator also instituted new rules governing wholesale access to cable networks.
