I believe that reestablishing local phone service would be a priority for ANY force establishing a base. The value in the ability to pick up a phone and just call your forward deployed forces several klicks away CANNOT be overestimated. I could see a place like Krakow having such an advantage and using it to the fullest. The city would know WITHIN MINUTES if a large force were approaching the city. If a given section of the city were in danger of being breached, a phone call to HQ beats even a horse riding courier any day. The reduced response times alone merit the resources needed when establishing a FOB.
