Knftig soll das Treffen mindestens zwei Mal im Jahr stattfinden.We can only achieve the nationwide expansion of gigabit-capable networks together in close cooperation between private and state-sponsored expansion. We all have to pull together because no one can solve this task alone. All participants here and today agree on that. Precisely because it is currently still unclear how the federal broadband subsidy will continue in 2023 we must speak with one strong voice. Only with strong cooperation can we finally expand the areas that are still underserved. The Round Table Fiber Optic Networks is our solidarity on the way to the gigabit future everywhere and for everyone says Digitization Minister Thomas Strobl.Backbone of digitizationThe expansion of fiber optic networks and the latest mobile communications standards such as 5G are fundamental prerequisites for a successful start in the gigabit age. Especially in a large and technological state like Baden-Wrttemberg where not only the citizens but above all the companies depend on a high-performance mobile communications and fiber optic infrastructure we need a nationwide coverage with broadband mobile communications and gigabit-capable fixed networks. explained Digitization Minister Thomas Strobl. The two areas fiber optic and mobile network expansion and thus the backbone of digitization so to speak were brought together and powerfully bundled in this legislature in the Ministry of the Interior for Digitization and Municipalities.
