Regulatory Updates

In 2024, Poland implemented a new Electronic Communications Law (ECL), which replaced the previous Telecommunications Act.

The ECL modernizes the regulatory framework to align with EU standards, expanding its scope to include online communication services such as messaging and video conferencing platforms. This law enhances consumer protections, introduces obligations for service providers to ensure transparency, accessibility, and fair treatment of users, and establishes new supervisory bodies including the National Council for Digital Services.

The law took effect on November 10, 2024 and is anticipated to significantly impact Poland's telecommunications landscape moving forward.
