Yettel is bringing the network power of a mid-sized county seat to one of Europe’s biggest music festivals
 
Two hundred times more phone calls and 1,200 times more data use – that’s what sets Sziget Festival apart from an average week on Óbuda Island, according to last year’s measurements. On Wednesday, one of Europe’s biggest music and cultural festivals kicked off again, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors year after year. As the festival’s official telecommunications partner, Yettel is once again delivering top-class network performance, on par with the needs of a medium-sized Hungarian county seat. 

Thanks to the joint initiative by Yettel and the Demján Sándor Programme – “Every Business Should Have Its Own Website” –, another Hungarian small enterprise has entered the digital space: Gasztro-Kopasz Nagykereskedés, run by sole trader László Kopasz and operating for over thirty years, now serves its partners through its own website. The Demján Sándor Programme aims to prepare Hungarian small and micro enterprises for a digital presence with comprehensive support at no cost. As part of the programme, Gasztro-Kopasz has launched a new, informative website that allows partners to access relevant information quickly and efficiently. 

As of 1 September 2025, Kata Hamza will take on the role of Director of Brand and Marketing Communications at Yettel Hungary.

How does the power of community help? Gábor Rakonczay shares his insights.

Swimming demands more than physical stamina – it requires mental resilience. According to multiple world record-holder and extreme athlete Gábor Rakonczay, this challenge becomes most intense over longer distances. In the water, you move alone. There is no external feedback, no applause, no cheers – just the steady rhythm of movement and breath. What truly matters is perseverance. As a key partner of the 43rd LIDL Balaton Crossing, Yettel’s mobile network plays a unique role this year – helping the encouragement of loved ones reach swimmers even in the middle of the lake.

Free artificial intelligence workshops continue over the summer holidays

School reports may already be filed away in drawers, but the learning doesn’t stop – at least not for teachers.

Feedback shows not only strong interest, but also a continued demand for professional development. The July sessions will focus on how AI can ease teachers’ workloads by helping automate certain teaching tasks.

Traveling with your mobile is getting easier, but there are still a few practical things worth keeping in mind – from roaming to portable chargers and essential apps – if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises. Yettel offers a few tips to help make sure your holiday is perfect in this regard, too.
