1&1 Drillisch has accepted Telef\u00f3nica’s offer of national roaming. The company will thus be able to use Telef\u00f3nica’s network in Germany in the future wherever it does not yet have its own mobile network.<\/strong><\/p>\n The German Federal Network Agency has announced that 1&1 Drillisch has accepted an offer from Telef\u00f3nica on national roaming, which means that in future it will be able to use the network of its new contractual partner wherever it does not yet have its own mobile network.<\/p>\n “The announced agreement on national roaming is good news for wireless customers in Germany. The cooperation is an indication of the attractiveness and dynamism of the German wireless services market. 1&1 Drillisch becomes the fourth mobile network operator in Germany.\u00a0Now it is up to 1&1 Drillisch to start building the network and to use the acquired frequencies efficiently.” 1&1 Drillisch had purchased usage rights at 2 GHz and 3.6 GHz in the 2019 frequency auction. In order to be able to offer nationwide services immediately, 1&1 Drillisch had requested national roaming.<\/p>\n The Federal Network Agency had ordered the established mobile network operators in the spectrum auction to negotiate national roaming with new entrant 1&1 Drillisch. In parallel, there was a roaming option for 1&1 Drillisch from the proceedings on the merger of the network operators Telef\u00f3nica and E-Plus at the European Commission.<\/p>\n Negotiations on national roaming began after the auction in 2019. 1&1 Drillisch had called on the Federal Network Agency as an arbitrator. To this end, the Federal Network Agency had held talks with all network operators on several occasions to promote constructive negotiations.<\/p>\n The negotiations between Telef\u00f3nica and 1&1 Drillisch were also accompanied by the European Commission, actively supported by the Federal Network Agency. The agreement now reached on national roaming intensifies the existing cooperation between Telef\u00f3nica and 1&1 Drillisch. 1&1 Drillisch already sells wireless services on the Telef\u00f3nica network.<\/p>\n With the existence of a roaming agreement, the essential requirement of 1&1 Drillisch has been met. As the Federal Network Agency’s announcement states, 1&1 Drillisch is “expected to begin network rollout as soon as possible and to put the frequencies to efficient use.”<\/p>\n Parts of this text has been translated with www.DeepL.com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_5053329184679405_398544750902733":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[252],"tags":[539,949,950,921,264,532],"class_list":["post-6348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-frank-jablonski-en","tag-11-en","tag-cooperation","tag-drillisch-en","tag-fraunhofer-en","tag-kooperation-en","tag-telefonica-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n
