Czechia will likely fail to cover 95% of households with high-capacity internet
Published
Czechia will probably have trouble reaching its planned target, according to the Czech Telecommunication Office (ČTÚ). The original plan assumes that 95% of households will be covered by high-capacity networks. However, the office estimates that this target will not be met by 2028.
High-capacity internet is important for fast connection to the network. It allows, for example, watching videos in high resolution, working from home, or using smart home appliances. That is why it is important for both the state and businesses that these networks expand also in smaller municipalities and in rural areas.
According to information from the ČTÚ, the biggest obstacle is the slow construction of new networks. Operators take a long time to obtain permits, and building in some areas is also financially demanding. The office is therefore considering how construction could be accelerated.
It is not yet clear what measures the office will ultimately adopt. According to available information, the office expects that the situation will continue to be monitored.
