Vodafone wants the German government to facilitate the rollout of ultrafast fiber broadband connections to homes and businesses by investing in the “last mile” of networks, the company’s Germany chief was quoted saying.
Germany has been slow to expand its fiber-optic network, causing its vital export industry to fret it will lose competitiveness because slow internet speeds risks hobbling advances in computer-based manufacturing.
“The last mile to the home is extraordinarily challenging,” Vodafone’s Germany chief Hannes Ametsreiter told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper.
