A new initiative, referred to as the fair play agreement, aims to accelerate broadband expansion in Germany. The participating telecommunications companies are relying not on new legal regulations, but on the voluntary opening of their networks to promote the development of fiber optic infrastructure.

According to reports from Der Tagesspiegel and DER SPIEGEL, this cooperation aims to facilitate access for competitors. Despite the positive approaches, it is noted that the motivation behind this initiative does not stem solely from altruistic reasons.
