Telecommunications market grew by 1.1%

The value of the telecommunications market in Poland grew by 1.1 percent y/y in the first half of 2015, according to estimates by Orange Polska. The growth was buoyed by the rising mobile wholesale market, the report informed. Orange pointed out that the replacement of fixed services with mobile ones is an unfavorable factor for telecom operators. In previous years mainly fixed-cable telephony was subject to this trend, though broadband Internet is now heading in that direction as well.
