1&1 confident it will achieve 25% coverage at the end of the year but concerned about the ongoing negotiations with the incumbents
- 1&1 recently contacted the head of Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) detailing their network progress.
- 1&1 said in the letter that their network expansion is progressing well and they are confident that they will reach 25% of German households by the end of 2025.
- 1&1 also said that it has migrated more than 98% of its customers to its own network.
- According to Tagesspiegel Background, while 1&1 now operates sufficient number of 5G base stations, it has not met the minimum requirement of base stations in each federal state but BNetzA granted them until the end of 2025 to achieve this goal.
- 1&1 is concerned about the ongoing negotiations with the incumbents regarding the shared use of low-band spectrum, saying negotiations are progressing “very slowly”.
