After criticism from the European Union, Hungary has drafted a new version of its controversial media law, but most of the controversial sections will remain unchanged. The amendments are designed to make the law more precise, but the bottom line is that the law will still give the government broad authority to restrict freedom of the pres sin Hungary, and that extends to online media like Internet radio as well.

The ruling Fidesz party drafted the media law to address what it saw as imbalanced and sensationalist media content in the country. Critics say iit can be used to gag the press. Some Hungarian news outlets ran editions with blank front pages in protest. The current law says that media content must not "cause offense", even by implication, to individuals, minorities or majorities. It binds all media content providers, even those registered in other EU countries.

Ford is using hands-free dashboard system and Toyota says it will use phone's wireless connection to install, communicate and use car-borne-app. The iheartradio mobile app multicasts 750 broadcasts for major stations is a boon for all internet radio users. The clash between online radio providers is really hard but the ultimate winner will be user enjoying multi-stations free.

Since communism saw its last reign in 1989, Radio Hungary has actually embraced every single genre of music. Since then to this very day Hip Hop has been one particular genre that has been widely accepted by various populations in Hungary.

Though Hip Hop as a genre of music originated from the United States of America, with time and due to faster acceptance of westernization, Hungary now has its own Hip Hop artists.

Though Hungarian hip hop came into the scene because of the American version, the underground hip hop of Hungary criticizes the main stream version for selling itself out to the western version. Gangsta Zolee is one Hungarian mainstream artist who has found a lot of appreciation over the past years and thanks to Radio Hungary, many people across Hungary have now come to appreciate the music and its artist.
