Fidesz MEP Tamás Deutsch, who oversees the Digital Welfare Program, said that a prerequisite for a successful digital transition is the availability of affordable infrastructure and internet services for all. Deutsch noted earlier that 1.5 million Hungarians still do not use the internet, with 14% saying they had no access for financial reasons.

Magyar Telekom will be offering two wired internet products and two mobile internet products for clients to choose from the package.

Magyar Telekom is the seventh telco in Hungary to include a Digital Welfare package among its products.
