The company controlled by Oradea-based businessman Zoltan Teszari also accounts for 27% of the TV services market, according to the same source.

At the end of May, there were 1.980 million subscribers to high-speed Internet services in Hungary, with the biggest providers being Germany’s Deutsche Telekom (34.5%), US-held UPC (20.7%) and Romanian-held RCS&RDS (12.2%), according to NMHH data.

RCS&RDS ranks fourth on the landline market, far behind Deutsche Telekom, and second on the TV market, very close behind U.S.-held UPC.
