Consultancy firm Buddecomm reports that broadband is the most popular connection for internet, with 50% of Hungarian households using fixed broadband access. Hungary’s mobile market has matured to over 100% penetration and the country’s three operators have shifted focus to increasing ARPU, improving mobile broadband services and expanding 3G network coverage. 2010 saw Hungary’s fixed-line mobile market suffer a decrease in subscribers and reduced revenue for foreign investors because the Forint devalued. Hungary’s three network operators are wholly or majority-owned by western European telcos.
