News Summary:
1&1 Telecommunication, along with German network operators Telekom Deutschland, Vodafone, Telefonica Germany, Deutsche Glasfaser, and EWE Tel, committed to investing EUR 8.5 billion in 2026 to expand FTTB/H networks, with additional investments planned for 2027 and 2028. This pledge is part of a memorandum of understanding with the government, federal states, municipal organizations, and industry associations aimed at accelerating fixed-line and mobile network expansion. Previously, on May 12, 2026, the United Internet subsidiary reported a slight increase in first-quarter revenue, though operating earnings marginally decreased. The company reaffirmed its guidance for 2026 and beyond, noting that its customer contracts stood at 16.32 million at the start of the year, largely unchanged from the previous year. Earlier in the year, on January 11, 2026, benchmarking experts from Opensignal confirmed the strong development of the 1&1 Mobile Network in their Insight Report. This followed a November 25, 2025 report where the trade magazine connect awarded 1&1 O-RAN a "very good" rating in its Mobile Network Quality Benchmark, less than two years after the start of mobile services.
