Digital divide narrows in Hungary - survey
2015-06-11 14:41:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) As many as 87 percent of adult Hungarian internet users browse the web several times a day, according to an online survey by Hungarian market research firm eNet. Within this nation-wide group, the same ratio is 89 percent for city people and 86 percent for town or village residents, which shows that people living in smaller communities have caught up with city dwellers, thus narrowing the digital divide between the various regions of the country. Furthermore, people spend more and more time online, and 70 percent of smartphone owners use their phones too to connect to the internet daily. More than two thirds of adult Hungarian internet users would rather give up television for one month than live without internet access. Regardless of where they live, 99 percent of the respondents have internet access at home.
