The special market position of Deutsche Telekom, the proportion of depreciated existing infrastructure, the considerable scaling advantages and the regulatory obligations of a market-dominant company play a key role here. <\/p>\n<p>The Federal Network Agency&#8217;s decision must not result in a market price. Such a development would be very damaging for investments in new fiber optic networks by Telekom&#8217;s competitors, which could not be amortized on the basis of regulated fees. As BREKO, we have spoken out against regulated duct access from the outset and are therefore critical of today&#8217;s decision.&#8221;  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Network Agency today decided on the level of fees for the use of Telekom&#8217;s construction facilities.
