Product Code: R337-2292Description In-depth report on the Polish telecommunications sector. Includes complete coverage of the latest developments as well as the latest corporate news accompanied by statistical data. Updaed every 4 months.Table of Contents - The value of the Polish telecommunications market amounted to approx. PLN 48.6bn, according to the Electronic Communications Office (UKE). According to signals made by telco companies, mainly by the incumbent Telekomunikacja Polska (TPSA), the value of the market can shrink in 2009. What’s more, TPSA expects that also 2010 will be the year of the market's contraction.
- The falling value of the telco market is not only an effect of the crisis. Other important factors also include the regulation effect (MTR fees' decreasing) and the price war between operators.
- The difficult economic environment can force the market regulator UKE to withdraw from its plan of functional separation of the incumbent fixed-line operator TPSA. In return, the UKE wants TPSA to intensify its investments in the Polish telecommunications infrastructure.
- Without new investments, the market of broadband internet access in cities will be still dominated by cable TV providers, while most of the rural territories will be left with mainly radio access. At least such is the vision which was probably described by TPSA’s CEO during negotiations with UKE.
