• Description:
  Today transport in Poland is not the ideal origination. We have still many problems to solve. They relate both to transport which is already functioning and which still needs to be modernized and improved, and to the tasks which have not been started yet as well (or barely begun such as the plan of building of motorways). Among the most important problems of transport, which should be solved, there is an unequal arrangement in transport structure, with clear predominance of road transport. The next problems are: the existence of congestion and so-called “narrow throats” of goods and passengers conveyance, endangered security, noise or surface absorption. Moreover all tasks must be realized with maintenance of high proecological standards and with use of environmentally-friendly technologies. The globalization of world economy gives Polish transport another duties, which are the integration of all transport system and elimination of missing links in transport system. In modern Poland communication experiences deep structural changes of consumption and services delivery. The most important is expansion of data transition. The main trends, which one can observe on Polish market are: decrease of prices and widening of services access. Additionally free market, i.e. competitively, gives potential users whole range of products prepared ‘only’ for them. It is good stimulus for increasing of telecommunication services, particularly in mobile telecommunication and the Internet. It seems to be unchanged in next years. Another important phenomenon is continuing conversation of services delivered with various electronic technologies. We will witness diminishing importance of traditional diversification of voice connections, video transition and data transition.
