Big step into the digital age: glass fiber for 22,000 households!
The district of Rottal-Inn sets a strong sign in digital development. With a comprehensive initiative to promote fiber optic removal, around 22,000 households and companies are to be connected to the fast network in the coming years. This ambitious measure is promoted together by all 31 municipalities in the district in five inter -municipal projects. The goal is clear: a comprehensive digital development and closure of all so -called white spots, which have so far been excluded from fast internet. According to pnp, 78% of the addresses can already be supplied with at least 30 Mbit/s are already equipped with glass fiber.
In addition to these pleasant developments, the Bavarian state government ensures that the expansion progresses even faster. Finance and homeland minister Albert Füracker handed over funding notices of 59 million euros on September 4, 2024, which are to be specifically used for fiber optic expansion. This supports 25 municipalities in the district and over 2,100 new connections and 1,025 kilometers are planned for new fiber optic lines.

In order to implement the necessary expansion, comprehensive measures are planned. A total investment of 182 million euros is being sought, with 50% of which come from federal funds. The municipalities make a share of 10%, the rest is covered by the Free State. From 2025, the Europe-wide tender for network operators should begin, followed by the allocation of expansion rights to telecommunications companies in 2026. The actual construction and implementation phase is scheduled for 2027 to 2031 In view of the fact that many rural regions are confronted with challenges in broadband expansion, the project for the district of Rottal-Inn is a milestone. High investment costs and longer expansion times have to be accepted, but the benefits are clear: a powerful digital infrastructure is crucial for the long-term development of the region. This not only strengthens the settlement of companies, but also the attractiveness of the place of residence for young families and specialists. [BMEL] (https://www.bmel.de/de/themen/laendliche-regions/digitales/breitband-und-mobilfunk supply/gigabit-strategy.html) explains that the nationwide supply with gigabit networks will also be targeted for Germany and the district can act as a pioneer.
A look at the numbers
The current location of the fiber optic expansion already shows progress. By mid -2024, 43.2% of households can be supplied with glass fiber, although only 22.8% actually have a fiber optic connection. It is therefore particularly important that the further expansion also promotes the use of these connections. All actors are required here to shape the digital future together.
In conclusion, it remains to be said that the Rottal-Inn district is on a promising path to overcome the digital gap and to position itself as a modern center for digital infrastructure. With the tailwind of the funding and the cooperation of all municipalities, Rottal-Inn can finally redeem the promise of a future-oriented broadband expansion.| Details | |
