Mrs Magdalena Gaj,Undersecretary of State Minister responsible for telecommuni-cation issues May a first, on behalf of the Government of Republic of Poland and Polish delegation express our thanks and appreciation to the Government of Mexico for hosting the Plenipotentiary Conference in your beautiful country. Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Chairmen on your election to guide this conference through those busy 3 weeks! It is my first Plenipotentiary Conference but since I took my office I saw an importance of strong coopera-tion with the International Telecommunication Union. I think that now, the importance of close international cooperation is even more important than before and therefore since I ever have tended not to miss out any opportunity to be part of vital discussions on telecom-munication issues on the international level. Besides the important discussions, I am very proud that Republic of Poland made significant developments es-pecially in the broadband regulations, Polish Act on supporting the development of telecommunications services and networks came into force just recently but it is already a part of the ongoing project called New legislative Paradigms Fostering Development of Broadband Infrastructure. Let me here express my appreciation for all the ef-forts made by the Union to establish the Broadband Commission which will help to ensure the universal access to the broadband infrastructure for us all! Of course the main issue is the infrastructure that the sector and users exploit. If the infrastructure is not there the digital exclusion gets bigger and bigger, the sector gives limited offer and services and there is no Mr Chairmen; Excellencies; Ladies and Gentlemen; 172
