Telecommunications in Poland- the beginnings
In Poland telecommunications has been with us for more than 100 years, quite a lot right? It already appeared when our country was under partition. The first Polish telecommunications operator is considered to be a company bearing the proud name of “Polish Post, Telegraph and Telephone” in short: PPTiT. This operator survived the war and became known as the only domestic telecommunications operator at the time. In 1991, PPTiT was split, at which time two different, separate business entities were created. The first is the “Polish Postal Service” and the second is a joint stock company of the State Treasury, “Telekomunikacja Polska.”
Telecommunications in Poland-the largest telecommunications companies today
There are not many telecommunications companies that we can find on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Despite this, they are very popular, so where does this come from? The answer is simple: not all of the largest telecommunications companies in Poland are registered as listed companies, and the best reputation among the public is enjoyed by telecommunications companies that are simply not on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. One of the largest telecommunications companies in Poland, is Cyfrowy Polsat, which is well known to everyone. So get acquainted with the largest telecom companies in Poland:

The answer is clear: of course it is, as there are other telecommunications companies on the Polish market that are not at all far behind the leading ones. One telecommunications company that may soon break out into the lead is T-Mobile Poland. Few people realize that T-Mobile Polska not only owns the T-Mobile network, but also Heyah and – surprisingly – tubierdonk! Blueconnect is the mobile Internet brand that T-Mobile owns. Users of T-Mobile’s network praise this operator’s offerings. The Internet works smoothly, and coverage is virtually everywhere.
Another telecommunications company that is gaining popularity, and thus creating serious competition for the biggest ones, is Vectra. Probably everyone has already met with this name. This company has in its offer the provision of cell phone services, as well as the provision of television services. Vectra has prepared fiber-optic Internet for its subscribers.

Summary
Telecommunications in Poland is largely a free service market. In turn, this one is developing dynamically. Let’s go back in time 30 years, back then there were only landlines, and only one company providing telecommunications services. In an era where cell phones rule, there are many more telecom companies in Poland. When it comes to telephony, Orange is the largest operator. In addition to the telecom companies in Poland, which are well-known, there are also a lot of smaller entities, which are known under the banner of virtual telecom operators. Their job is to recommend their services when they don’t have their own network, so they operate by using the infrastructure of other large telecom companies.
