    NETERT, the Association for the Protection of Net Users' Rights was founded in protest at the cancelling by Matáv (the incumbent telco, in which Deutche Telecom has a majority stake) of their flat-rate and reduced rate internet access services. They have staged a blackout on the 14th May and held a public demonstration of 1,200 people on 16th May at which an opposition member of parliament made a speech supporting the protest, prompting the new IT and Telecommunications Minister, Kálmán Kovács, to initiate talks with the CEO of Matáv to discuss the implications of the withdrawal of Matáv's discount packages for internet access. He informed Matáv that the government was planning to change telecom regulations with the help of the Telecommunications Supervision (HíF) and the service providers. Kovács has singled out the necessity to make the internet cheaper and more accessible. In June the government announced it would subsidise new low-cost Internet packages to help bridge the country's digital divide.
