Vodafone plans own VDSL network, launches pilot in Heilbronn Friday 10 July 2009 | 12:39 PM CET
 
Vodafone Germany has confirmed plans to build its own next-generation broadband network. It plans to build and operate a pilot VDSL network in Heilbronn, in co-operation with Deutsche Telekom. The expansion of Vodafone's VDSL network to other German cities has been ruled out for now as the companies are unable to reach agreement over access to local network facilities. Vodafone German CEO Friedrich Joussen hopes the VDSL pilot network in Heilbronn will signal a new era of competition in the German telecoms market and is calling for an end to Telekom's monopoly over VDSL high-speed broadband in Germany. A total of 50,000 households in Heilbronn will have internet access at speeds of up to 50 Mbps from the autumn. Vodafone is responsible for the construction of the VDSL network in Heilbronn. It is also conducting another pilot VDSL project in Wuerzburg with Telekom, where the incumbent is responsible for network construction.
