Abstract
This paper aims to present grounds and results of the 2011 amendment of Telecommunications Law concerning provisions on the delivery of prime rate services, that combine the telecommunications service with value added service. Extensive infringements of users’ rights and failure of selfregulation initiatives resulted in the introduction of protective regulations exceeding the requirements of the European Union. The analyze regards the suppliers’ information obligations related to the promotion of those services, conclusion of service contract and the process of service provision. The article addresses measures that provide users of premium rate services with controls over the amount of expenses related to the service. The competences of the regulator aimed at the enforcement of obligations imposed on telecommunications service providers and suppliers of value added part of the service were discussed in detail.
