Download now (764 KB)

The German Federal Government's Broadband Strategy sets out national objectives for broadband deployment in Germany, as well as the key strategies for meeting these objectives. The key objective is to have nationwide capable broadband access by 2010. The Report also states that a total of 75 percent of German households should have high speed broadband access with transmission rates of at least 50MB/sec by 2014. The strategies for achieving these objectives include capitalising on synergies in the construction of infrastructure (e.g., sharing); using the digital dividend; formulating regulation that fosters investment and growth; and financial support.
