After a two-month investigation, the Commission has decided that the UKE has failed to show that competitive conditions in Poland require the regulation of these markets, which are not regulated elsewhere in the EU. 

Indeed, internet service providers are able to connect to the internet not only by using direct interconnection services provided by the Polish incumbent TPSA, but also by indirect interconnection via other operators. 

The Commission's view is that Polish consumers already benefit from competitive services without the need of an extra regulatory burden, and prices are falling. Moreover, the Commission considers that if these markets were regulated, it could adversely affect alternative operators offering transit services and discourage them from investment in network infrastructure.
