Gov’t issues decree on national broadband access project

The government has issued a decree on implementing the National Digital Public Utility project, which will bring broadband internet to all of communities in Hungary, government commissioner in charge of infocommunications Ferenc Baja said at a press conference on Friday.

The cost of the project has not yet been made public, but it is expected to reach HUF 100bn, Mr Baja said. All of the necessary political decisions for the project, both in Budapest and Brussels, should be made within a year, and the building of the infrastructure should take a year or a year and a half after that, he added.
