Mobile telecommunications developments in Czechia and Slovak

Overview

Telecommunications developments in the Czech Republic and Slovakia have focused on regulatory improvements, infrastructure expansion, and market competition.

Regulators in both nations have taken steps to enhance connectivity. In Slovakia, the Office for Regulatory Affairs of Electronic Communications and Postal Services launched an interactive portal offering granular mobile coverage data, including specific technology and frequency band filters. In the Czech Republic, the Czech Telecommunication Office (ČTÚ) proposed doubling mobile coverage requirements for underserved areas, targeting 600 locations to improve connectivity in rural, mountainous, and railway regions by 2034.

Market activity has evolved through new service offerings and infrastructure shifts. In the Czech Republic, NejPřipojení.cz s. r. o. introduced transparent mobile data tariffs without long-term contracts. In Slovakia, market competition and sustainability efforts continue to evolve. Orange has expanded its use of solar energy and battery storage to 636 transmitter locations, an initiative aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 581 tons. Orange also reports that 5G Standalone coverage now reaches 91% of Slovakia.

Additionally, O2 Slovakia is preparing to launch ‘O2 Maxx’, a mobile plan offering 100 GB of data, unlimited calls, and unlimited messaging for 20 euros per month, potentially including bundled subscriptions to services like Netflix or HBO Max. This follows previous infrastructure shifts such as the sharing agreement between Telekom and O2.
