3 Features of the electronic communications market
30 31 Electronic communications is a rapidly changing field, where, apart from regulation, the development of technology and services also affect market processes. If we want to describe and assess the effects of the regulations applied, it is especially important to separate technological and market effects from the changes caused by regulations. The market features independent of (or indirectly dependent on) the regulation of the Hungarian electronic communications market are quite similar to market processes observable in other European markets, yet the Hungarian market has features that differentiate it from the markets of other Member States.

Players of the electronic communications sector invest more than HUF 100 billion annually, with total investment costs exceeding HUF 500 billion between 2004 and 2007.
