Telefónica Deutschland and Deutsche Telekom expand fixed network cooperation
Telefónica Deutschland and Deutsche Telekom agreed an early extension of
their existing cooperation in the fixed network and expand it further. In
this context both companies have signed a ten-year contingent contract.
Under the contract Telefónica Deutschland will also market Telekom's fibre
to the home access services (FTTH) to its customers. In addition, Telefónica
Deutschland will continue to use VDSL and vectoring wholesale products of
Telekom. Subject to regulatory approval the agreement will become effective
in spring 2021.
The future FTTH-offering enables internet high-speed of up to 1 Gbit/s. VDSL
solutions achieve speeds of up to 250 Mbit/s. The VDSL network of Telekom
reaches around 33 million households in Germany. To date, 1.8 million
households have been provided with access to fibre. Telekom will
significantly accelerate its fibre roll-out over the coming years.
The two companies also cooperate in other areas of network expansion and
sharing. Telekom supplies Telefónica Deutschland with around 5,000 fibre
connections for new and existing mobile sites. Together with Vodafone, the
two companies are also working to eliminate around 6,000 so-called 'white
spots' in mobile coverage with a focus on rural areas.
