1. Introduction To large extent, the situation in the development and modernisation of the high-speed electronic communications networks in the Czech Republic does not meet the current development trends related to an increased need for a reliable and safe high-speed internet connection for citizens and businesses. An increasing number of digitalised business and sectors of Industry 4.0 with a need for the development of new applications and business models to ensure competitiveness of production, distribution and sale of goods and new services requires high-speed connection through high-capacity networks. Such connections will facilitate the use of innovative application-based intermodal transportation for traffic nodes. At the same time, both public administration and socio-economic entities need high-speed connectivity to provide services to citizens and businesses more effectively. The envisaged new services will use both the backbone and access networks and also the 5G network. It is assumed that industrial zones, road corridors and railway line will be key areas for the first phase of the new applications. Among other, the viability of these new applications will require an availability of the 5G-based services throughout the Czech Republic. The accomplishment of the objectives above and, consequently, and continuous improvement of the options and quality of internet connectivity are seen as a necessary premise for a healthy development of digital society and, in this context, sustainable growth of economy, as well. The existence of good connections has significant positive effects for competitiveness, innovation, as well as social and territorial cohesion and strengthening of principles of civil society. With many synergies across virtually each and every area of human activity, it will then help to continually improve the quality of life of citizens and business development. The above is also closely related to the Program Statement of the Government of the Czech Republic and to the Digital Czech Republic strategic document addressing, among other, promotion of digital infrastructure. At the same time, the 2030 Innovation Strategy - Czech Republic - The Country for the Future also supports dynamic development of modern technologies, which is not feasible without a reliable high-speed internet connection. However, objective-defining strategic documents cannot ensure their accomplishment without the assistance of the business sector, as the main investor of the development of electronic communications networks, as well as without municipalities, towns and districts, the cooperation of which is essential to implement such a change. In reality, specific obstacles slowing down, and in some cases, making it virtually impossible to develop electronic communications networks and services have been identified regarding the development of electronic communications networks and services, . As a result, despite the developed market environment, the development of electronic communications networks falls behind in some areas and is not profitable in certain parts of the territory for economic reasons. By its Resolution No. 350 of 10 May 2017, the Government approved the “Action Plan” to implement non-subsidy measures to support the planning and construction of electronic communications networks. The objectives of this document have been gradually achieved. As a result of further developments and changes in the legislation, a number of other objectives have been exceeded, while 3
