Socialists propose affordable broadband for all Hungarians

By MTI

The governing Socialist Party’s Innovation and Informatics Committee has proposed that affordable broadband internet should made available to all Hungarian citizens, the chairman said at a press conference on Saturday.

Ferenc Baja said that by the end of the next parliamentary cycle, the committee wants to see country-wide internet access with speeds of at least one megabit per second at a cost of no more than 3 percent of the minimum wage, or 2,500 forints (9.2 euros) per month.

Giving all Hungarians, regardless of where they live, access to broadband internet could form the basis for making use of electronic public administration services mandatory in the future, he added.
