Gigabit grant for Altötting: over 1.3 million euros for fast internet!

Altötting, Deutschland - An important step towards digital future is taken in the Altötting district: The State Office for Digitization, Broadband and Surveying has guaranteed the city of Altötting a generous grant of 1,311,418 euros. This funding, which is provided within the framework of the co-finance gigabit directive 2.0, has the goal of enabling a nationwide gigabit supply. According to [innsalzach24.de] (https://www.innsalzach24.de/innsalzach/region-neuoetting/landkreis-altoett-ort78112/landkreis-altoett-million-Euro-fuer-glass fiber expansion-93790053.html) sees this support as a decisive signal for the Region.

"It is high time that we catch up with fiber optic expansion," said Huber. Financial support is considered a crucial step to promote citizens, companies and the digital infrastructure in the Altötting district. When it comes to digitization, the keyword "core demand" often falls. The MP emphasizes that fast internet is essential not only for education and business, but also for daily administration.

fiber optic expansion in Bavaria

But how does it work? As part of gigabit promotion 2.0, the Free State of Bavaria specifically supports regions in which the economic expansion of fiber optic networks cannot be found by telecommunications companies. According to the schnelles-internet.bayern.de, guidelines can be made in public sponsorship by various area authorities and companies. This orientation shows the determination of supplying Germany with fiber optic by 2030.

The procedure for the applicants becomes particularly exciting, because the development takes place in several steps. Initially, industry dialogues between the local authorities and the telecommunications company have been required since 2024. There are also help for applicants to check the chances of success of their applications using a points compass. The projects that achieve the highest scores can be requested via a so-called "Fast Lane" call.

funding for all

Who specifically benefits from this funding? It is particularly important that support in areas with a high catch -up requirement of fast internet connections flows. The measure is gradually introduced, although even smaller communities are not forgotten. According to the information of the bmv.de, in addition to funding, advisory services can also be requested to support the municipalities technically and legally.

Another forward-looking program is the gap closure pilot program, which supplements the gigabit promotion and in particular focuses on small remaining areas. The approval process for these smaller projects is simplified, which makes implementation much easier. The support is considered essential to not only keep the connection, but also to actively promote and to make it sustainable for the citizens.

The goal is clear: a well -networked district in which daily life, working and formation can benefit from the digital infrastructure. With the donation in Altötting, another step is taken in this direction, and the anticipation for the upcoming developments in the field of broadband care is great.
