The political goal of nationwide fiber optic expansion by 2030 is no longer achievable. The BREKO Market Analysis 2024 clearly shows that the expansion has already slowed down. This is because Digital Minister Wissing has not yet made any progress on the most important issues of the gigabit strategy for the further expansion of fiber optics.

Today's revelations by the Tagesspiegel show that the head of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) in the person of State Secretary Stefan Schnorr exerted massive political influence on the interim report of the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) on the dual expansion of fiber optic networks. The ministry is thus protecting the interests of Telekom, in which the federal government still holds a direct and indirect stake of just under 28%. As a result, Telekom can continue its strategically destructive dual fiber optic expansion and further slow down the nationwide fiber optic expansion for the whole of Germany. After analyzing the cases of dual expansion reported to the monitoring body set up specifically for this purpose - including by Telekom - the BNetzA came to the conclusion that only Telekom and its affiliated company Glasfaser Plus have the potential to pursue anti-competitive dual expansion with the aim of crowding out other companies.
