Murnau starts gigant project: glass fiber for fast internet!
Murnau, Deutschland - In Murnau something is happening! The market town is planning to establish a network company to promote fiber optic expansion. Spokesman Phillip Zoepf describes this project as the largest infrastructure project since the sewage system was built. This is intended to significantly improve the digital connection of the municipal residents, which is more than necessary in view of the increasing demands on digital services. Merkur reports that the municipal works for the preparation for cooperation with others City and municipal works were commissioned. Partner cities in this undertaking are Weilheim, Penzberg and Markt Peißenberg.
There will also be a business plan that includes both financing and a schedule for the expansion. Murnau had previously had longer negotiations with Deutsche Telekom to accelerate broadband expansion. But the talks were not successful, as Dr. Markus Jodl from Telekom confirmed that the company is not planning its own expansion in Murnau, but is open to rental offers for networks. Zoepf hopes to be able to perform the work reliably without having to fall back on subcontractors, which has often been problematic in the past. However, the citizens have to prepare for many open roads while the work is being carried out.
background to fiber optic expansion
The fiber optic expansion in Germany is not only a local policy topic, but also has nationwide relevance. Recently it became clear how important powerful digital infrastructures are for the modernization of the business location of Germany. As the Federal Government , citizens, companies and administrations urgently need access to reliable networks. The cabinet has already decided to change the Telecommunications Act, which is intended to strengthen network expansion in the event of official decisions. The aim is to connect the digital network as quickly as possible.
The fiber optic expansion not only harbors economic advantages, but also plays a crucial role in general interest, especially evident through the challenges of corona pandemic or natural disasters. According to current studies, around 74% of households are already supplied with gigabit connections in Germany, and around 92% of the area can be supplied with 5G at least one provider. The federal government sees this an urgent public interest that creates the framework for comprehensive support measures so that municipalities such as Murnau can also benefit from these developments.
Cooperation and synergies use
The Federal Network Agency facilitates the cooperation between companies to lay fiber optic cables and has taken measures to raise synergies. This cooperation is important so that public funding can be used effectively and all involved access to the funded infrastructures.
In this sense, Murnau hopes to take an important step towards a comprehensive fiber optic connection by founding the network company, which should benefit not only the citizens, but also to the local companies. Digital progress is moving a little closer to the reach of all Murnauer.
