The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Digital Polska against a fine imposed by the Electronic Communications Office. The regulator had penalized the company for charging a number porting fee that allegedly deterred subscribers, relying on subjective consumer surveys rather than objective cost analysis. The court ruled that the regulator must balance operator costs and subscriber interests using an objective methodology to determine if a fee is deterrent, rejecting the reliance on subjective consumer expectations.
