Synopsis
Despite relatively low penetration, Poland’s fixed broadband market is one of the largest in Eastern Europe. Broadband represents the majority of Internet connections. ADSL is the most popular fixed broadband access platform followed by cable due to Poland’s well-established cable TV operators. Fixed broadband access is also available via FttX and wireless. The telecoms incumbent dominates the fixed broadband market although a tougher regulatory regime is improving wholesale market conditions. An emerging Internet society is taking shape, encompassing commerce, health and government services. This report profiles Poland’s fixed broadband market in 2009, including key market players, technology platforms, market developments, a variety of statistics, and forecasts for fixed broadband penetration to 2018.
