Mobile Telephony In Hungary Celebrates 25 Years
- 15 Oct 2015 9:00 AM
Some 10-15% of mobile subscribers in Hungary, 1.3-1.5 million people, now use 4G telecoms technology, Népszabadság writes on the 25th anniversary of the launch of the first Hungarian analogue mobile-service provider. Magyar Telekom’s Westel 0660 mobile service began operating on October 15, 1990 with 400 towers.
Today, companies are expanding broadband capacities in fast mode and competing for first place in coverage of service.
All three mobile operators are very close to reaching the full 100% coverage for external use of mobile internet.
Last year, mobile operators paid a combined Ft 130 billion to extend current concessions and for new frequency licences for 4G development.
