Budapest,
The micro-regions to be developed in the framework of GVOP belong to
the conurbation areas of the following towns: Tab, Kőszeg, Bicske, Mór,
Pécsvárad, Mezőcsát, Ramocsaháza, Nagyhalász and Penyige.
According
to the plans, the most up-to-date broadband IT and electronic
telecommunications services will be made available to about 120 small
villages by the first half of 2008 at the latest. At the time the
tender was announced, broadband Internet infrastructure was not yet
available in these villages.
Development budgets for the
micro-regions vary between HUF 100 and 500 million, and a significant
portion of these amounts is financed by Magyar Telekom.
As a
result of the development projects, nearly 2000 households in the
region will have access to broadband Internet for the first time. T-Com
operating the completed network guarantees ongoing service as, based on
the contract concluded with the micro-region, it will serve consumers
for 7 years.
