PRESS RELEASE
Telecommunications: Commission endorses the Polish regulator's modified
market analysis of retail access market (14 May 2007)The Commission has
taken a Decision on 14 May endorsing the Polish telecom regulator's
amended proposal concerning the market for access to fixed telephony
services. On 13 March 2007, the Commission told the Polish regulator UKE
that broadband access services should not be included in the definition
of the market. The Commission also suggested to UKE to enforce without
delay regulation at wholesale level in order to improve competition in
the Polish broadband market. The UKE's modified definition now excludes
all retail broadband services.
