The German Broadband Association (BREKO) has awarded Dr. Achim Br\u00f6tel from Mosbach the title of “Digital Politician” for his services to the expansion of fibre optics.<\/p>\n
Since the beginning of his 19-year term of office, Achim Br\u00f6tel has been committed to expanding the fiber optic infrastructure in his district. With an area of more than 1,100 square kilometers, the Neckar-Odenwald district is one of the largest districts in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg and is particularly sparsely populated with only 145,000 inhabitants. <\/p>\n
Thanks to the cooperation initiated by District Administrator Br\u00f6tel with the network operator BBV, around 43,000 households are now connected to the fiber optic network on a self-sufficient basis. BREKO recognizes this achievement with the “Digital Politician” award. <\/p>\n
Roman Skrodzki, BREKO Local Policy Officer: “Achim Br\u00f6tel recognized the importance of fibre optic infrastructure early on and has worked hard to ensure that the Neckar-Odenwald district benefits from the opportunities offered by the new technology. In a project that is unique in Germany, he agreed with BBV Deutschland to expand the entire district and thus created a flagship project for fiber optic expansion in rural areas.”<\/p>\n
District Administrator Dr. Achim Br\u00f6tel: “I am delighted to receive this award. It also goes to the many people active in local politics here in the district who actively supported the expansion. The Neckar-Odenwald district would never have been able to make an investment of this magnitude, no matter how generous the financial support from the federal and state governments.”<\/p>\n
BBV Managing Director Martin Naber: “When it comes to fiber optic expansion, providers and regional politicians must work hand in hand; the region needs a tailwind. Dr. Br\u00f6tel has recognized the need of the hour. Fiber optics will take the infrastructure in the Neckar-Odenwald district to a new level and will last for generations to come.”<\/p>\n
