Deutsche Glasfaser has announced that it has concluded a wholesale cooperation agreement with Vodafone Germany for a period of at least ten years. Under the contract, Vodafone will be granted nationwide access to Deutsche Glasfaser’s fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network from autumn 2023, enabling it to reach up to six million additional households in the future.
‘We are pleased that Vodafone is relying on our rapidly growing fibre-optic network in rural and suburban areas. Everyone benefits from open access: fibre-optic customers in rural areas have freedom of choice, and we as a company are getting closer to our goal of supplying the regions with fibre-optics quickly and comprehensively through such wholesale partnerships,’ stated Deutsche Glasfaser’s CEO Andreas Pfisterer, adding: ‘We offer all telecommunications providers the opportunity to use our infrastructure to expand their range of services. In this way, we promote fair competition between offers and services and advance the expansion of fibre-optics in Germany.’
