European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association (ETNO) will be represented by Magyar Telekom at an environment protection meeting to be held in Brussels on June 2 during the EU’s Green Week.

European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association (ETNO) was established in 1992 to promote cooperation among European network operators, the development of European networks and to extend the scope of services provided by network operators in the interests of the users, and to represent the joint standpoint of the member companies in other organizations, especially in the EU.
One of the ETNO projects aims at making the EU more aware of the fact that environment protection is greatly facilitated by the use of information and communications tools. Just think of the significant carbon dioxide emission that can be avoided through a videoconference where businessmen discuss things with each other while sitting in their own office instead of flying or driving hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. This ETNO project wants to call attention to such (and similar) solutions; the project has been managed by Magyar Telekom since 2002. Other project participants include British Telecom, Deutsche Telekom and Telecom Italia.
