Summary/Abstract: The definition of an electronic communications service determines the scope of the application of the European Electronic Communications Code. Thus, it defines the permissible activity of the Polish Office of Electronic Communications and the rights and obligations of market participants. Despite the clear expectations of both doctrine and case-law, the new definition does not meet the expectations. Simultaneous maintenance of the technological criterion (signal transmission) with the introduction of the functional criterion (interpersonal communication service) deepens the interpretation difficulties. Therefore, it is not a revolutionary measure which was supposed to ensure the achievement of the objectives set out in the directive.
