Poland’s high-speed internet expansion supports public safety, local development, and economic growth across urban and rural areas.
Residents, businesses, and local governments in both urban and rural areas across Poland increasingly rely on fast and stable internet connections. “Expanding telecom and mobile network infrastructure is essential for public safety and efficient state functioning,” says Michał Gramatyka, Deputy Minister of Digitization. Reliable internet supports emergency response, online services, remote work, and e-learning, all of which are integral to daily life.
Supporting Local Development and Innovation
Telecommunication infrastructure, prioritized in national digitization strategies, is vital for rural development. Investments targeting areas without high-speed internet (“white spots”) bring broader benefits to local communities. According to Witold Tomaszewski, Acting Spokesperson for the Office of Electronic Communications, telecom infrastructure is critical, just like electricity or water supply, impacting property value and community growth.
Boosting Economic and Digital Competitiveness
The 5G frequency auction commitments, aiming for 99% coverage with 95 Mbps speed, foster competition, reduce digital exclusion, and drive economic growth. High-quality connectivity encourages businesses to invest even in less urbanized regions, enhancing overall national competitiveness.
