On 1 January 2025, the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (hereinafter: “Authority”) introduced a new classification system for electronic communications networks and services.

Pursuant to Article 52(2)(a) of Act C of 2003 on Electronic Communications (hereinafter: “Electronic Communications Act”), the Authority shall keep a public official register on providers of electronic communications services and of the services they provide.

Pursuant to Article 76(4) of the Electronic Communications Act, the Authority shall register the service provider by the system of classification adopted and published by the Authority for the organization of electronic communications networks and services.

As part of the transposition of the European Electronic Communications Code into the Hungarian legal system, the Hungarian regulatory environment has been adapted to the requirements of the European Union. In line with EU harmonisation, the Authority has carried out a complete review of the content of the classification of electronic communications networks and services, taking into account new technical requirements imposed by technological developments. As a result, the Authority has developed a new classification system which was introduced on January 1, 2025.
