Hungary lags behind EU in internet use
During the first quarter of 2006, 42% of Hungarians used the internet at least once a week, compared to an average of 47% for all people living in the 25 member states of the European Union, according to a Friday news release from Eurostat, the statistical arm of the European Commission.
Among Hungarian households, 22% had a broadband connection during the first quarter of 2006, compared to the EU average of 32%. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands led the EU-25 in internet usage and home access during the first three months of the year, with more than 75% of people living in those countries using the internet at least once a week during the period and a similar proportion of the households in those countries having internet access at home.
