BONN BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – The Hard expansion of high-speed Internet in rural areas is likely lt according to estimates by Deutsche Telekom &; DTE.ETR & gt; without government subsidies not be fully reached. “Without public funding that will not work,” said the head of Germany Bonner Group, Niek Jan van Damme, the “Berliner Zeitung” (Saturday). “There’s no business model of how remote small villages with 50 megabits can be accessed via the fixed network,” said the manager.
Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) had provided financial incentives for a nationwide high-speed Internet in Germany in view in the spring. To direct subsidies it was about not. At the foundation of a “network alliance” with industry representatives themselves Dobrindt advocated that a large part of the revenue from future auctions of mobile spectrum should flow back into the digital industry.
The black-red federal government has spent the goal of achieving by 2018 transmission speeds of at least 50 megabits per second in remote regions. Van Damme told the newspaper that it would be difficult to reach the last two to three percent of households without subsidies but. Otherwise, the target will be “probably only be realized through the mobile”. jap DP he
