"While at T-Mobile Hungary mobile broadband has become the key growth driver fuelling value added service revenue growth, in the fixed line segment growth in internet revenues slowed down significantly and fixed line churn increased further in Q2," CEO Christopher Mattheisen said in a management commentary to the Q2 report. The chief executive's cautious commentary is not surprising in light of the fact that Q2 saw a decline (!) in T-Com Hungary's fixed-line Interenet revenues for the first time in the company's history on strong competition from mobile Internet and cable service providers. The performance of Magyar Telekom's foreign subsidiaries was likewise too weak to generate significant growth in the entire fixed-line division. Consolidated Internet service revenues grew only 6.7% in the first six months of 2008, which compares with 8.3% and 16.4% at Magyar Telekom's Czech and Polish industry peers, respectively. (The picture is actually even gloomier, considering the fact that Q2 alone saw only 4.4% growth.)

Suupohjan Seutuverkko was founded in 2005 as a result of EU-funded program Last Mile. During 2005-2007 Last Mile covered 45 % of the costs of building internet connections in the villages. Before this our region had many villages without any kind of internet connection. These small villages didn't even get the lowest adsl-connections. Our company was founded to enable the people as well as the companies in those villages to have the possibility to live and function in the place they want to. Without us in time they would have had to move to the downtown areas of bigger places. We have built several kilometres only to reach one single household. Our network is built with the Open Access principle which means that service providers have all equal opportunities in providing their services to fibre customers. Thereby customers are free to choose their service from the operator they prefer. FTTH connection can replace all existing data communication connections, such as the broadband, cable, satellite, digital TV and telephone connection.

In "An Economic Recovery Program for the Post-Bubble Economy" -- the first proposal in New America's new Big Ideas series -- Bernard L. Schwartz and Sherle R.
