Or is the government listening...
So you missed the point that this is an investment bankrolled by the German federal government? It says that the Federal government is already investing €4bn a year and is going to raise this by another €3bn to €7bn a year.
To put this in perspective, the total BDUK central government budget is about £780m (albeit there is local authority match funding).
Quite some difference there...
nb. there would be major issues regarding state aid if the UK govt went down this state corparist given the competing private networks. But then the German Government has a completely different relationship with DT to the one that the UK government has with BT.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
