Matáv launched the first experimental public service access point in November 2002 in the site of the lectures of University of All Knowledge, that point is still in operation during the lectures. We brought into service the first experimental hotel-based public access point in Hotel Astoria in December 2002. Since then the number of service access points in hotels has increased, since April 2003 wireless broadband Internet service has been available in the Hyatt Regency and Mercure Korona hotels as well. Generally, this service in available in community areas, conference rooms and designated hotel rooms as an experimental opportunity.

Matáv has been offering its wireless broadband Internet service under the brand name of EasyNet since February 2003, for hotels, conference rooms, restaurants and other high-traffic sites. The novelty of the EasyNet Plusz service to be launched now is the opportunity for end user identification and the application of prepaid cards.
