Broadband

​​​The supply of a fast internet and high bandwidth is becoming a more important factor for companies wishing to locate to a municipality. Nowadays industrial and commercial companies and private persons choose their location more and more based on the availability of a sustainable digital infrastructure.
   
For various reasons, energy and water suppliers also come into contact with the expansion of broadband. Many are actively searching for new business areas to compensate for a decrease in margins and lower earnings in the supply of energy and others are unable to withstand the pressure of municipal shareholders.
  
In order to ensure the right approach to the expansion of broadband, a number of technological and especially commercial and legal questions have to be addressed. In spite of commercial barriers in the initial years, the rollout of fibre optics for municipalities and municipal companies now offers extensive opportunities. The telecommunications market is also attractive for new market entrants in terms of ample support policies.
