Poland - UKE: real mobile penetration rate is 64%

The Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) has announced that 90% of people in Poland use telephone services (regardless of the technology used). This is one of the findings of a survey commissioned by the telecoms market regulator and carried out by CBM Indicator.


66% of respondents owned a fixed-line telephone, whereas the mobile penetration rate is 64% of the population. The figure is different from that reported recently by the Central Statistical Office (GUS), which stated that there are 36.7m active SIM cards in Poland, the equivalent of 96% of the population. According to the mobile operators, at the end of 2006 there were 30-33m mobile users in Poland.


TP SA lines are used by almost 91% of those who have a fixed-line telephone. 6% of respondents use the services of Tele2, and fewer than 5% are signed up with Telefonia Dialog.
