Telefonica Deutschland (O2D.XE) said Monday that it had agreed
with Deutsche Telekom (DTE.XE) and Vodafone (VOD.LN) to expand
network coverage in Germany.
The network operator said the companies plan to build up to
6,000 new mobile sites, constructing radio masts and towers in
order to provide areas such as rural regions with better
coverage.
The improvement of coverage was required by the national
telecoms regulator Federal Network Agency as part of an auction for
5G mobile frequencies, which the operators won--together with
1&1 Drillisch--earlier this year.
Telefonica Deutschland called the auction conditions
"disproportionate."
