The Polish telecommunications market has already recovered a slowdown recorded in 2001 and 2002. Rapid growth has been reported in the mobile telephony and data transmission sectors, the first signs of consolidation being observed on the fixed-line market, with the penetration of telecoms services coming somewhat closer to levels noted in Western European countries. Nevertheless, the market still remains in many respects different not only from Western European markets, but even from the telecoms markets in other Central European countries.
