DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Hungary
– Fixed Broadband Market – Statistics and Analyses” report has
been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
This report provides an overview of Hungary’s broadband market,
including market analyses, statistics and subscriber forecasts.
Hungary’s broadband market has benefited from intense
infrastructure-based competition, with the result that broadband
penetration is relatively high for the region. There is an extensive
cable network competing against DSL services and a vibrant and rapidly
expanding fibre sector. In May 2018 Liberty Global agreed to sell its
cable unit UPC Hungary to Vodafone Group, a deal which will see Vodafone
Hungary improve its position in the market for bundled services.
The regulator has introduced a number of measures aimed at promoting
market competition, which is pushing the drive for higher speed
platforms and encouraging operators to invest in technology upgrades
with a focus on fibre deployments. The incumbent telco Maygar Telekom
has built an extensive 1Gb/s footprint and has also launched a 2Gb/s
fibre service. FttP and the expansion of services based on the DOCSIS3.1
standard will help drive the take-up of fixed broadband services, though
from about 2023 it is anticipated that growth will slow as customers
adopt voice and data services on 5G infrastructure, particularly in
rural areas.
Amendments to the Utility Tax have also encouraged operators to
accelerate the deployment of superfast networks (those which provide
data of at least 30Mb/s). These connections accounted for more than 68%
of all fixed broadband connections by mid-2018.
