PROFILE |
 |
Magyar Távközlési, the first Eastern European company to debut on the NYSE, is marking its territory in Hungarian telecommunications. Known as MATÁV, the former monopoly is the country's sole provider of long-distance and international calling, and it controls 70% of the local phone market (3 million access lines). Although MATÁV holds these monopolies until 2002, the carrier does have rivals in Internet, data transport, and mobile phone markets. Its Westel unit supplies GSM (global system for mobile communications) wireless service to more than 1.6 million users, and its MATÁVnet connects about 96,000 users to the Internet. MATÁV also offers business data services. Deutsche Telekom owns nearly 60% of the firm.
