Poland to build 45,000 km of fiber optic networks

Poland will build some 45,000 kilometers of broadband telecommunications networks, possibly within the coming year, Administration and Digitization Minister Andrzej Halicki said on Monday, at the completion of the construction of the Pomorskie regional fiber optic network. Halicki added that the plan has so far been successfully carried out in the Pomorskie and Lubuskie voivodships. There are also regions, where work has not started yet, he said. Work is in progress in Silesia, Małopolskie, Mazowieckie and Łódzkie and it is close to completion Wielkopolskie and Lower Silesia. Next year should also see the completion of networks in the eastern part of Poland, Halicki said.
