2013-05-16 09:06:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vodafone Germany announced a network access agreement with Deutsche Telekom to give Vodafone the ability to offer VDSL broadband and IPTV services across Germany. Vodafone will initially use DT's VDSL network under a bespoke Layer 3 (IP-based) bitstream agreement. This will allow Vodafone to offer its customers speeds of up to 50 Mbps (rising to 100 Mbps once DT has deployed vectoring technology) as well as Vodafone's own on-demand and broadcast IPTV services. The two companies have also agreed that a new Layer 2 (ethernet-based) bitstream product will be made available by DT to Vodafone from 2016, which will allow a greater level of differentiation and control over the design and delivery of services by Vodafone. The agreement is subject to approval by the Federal Network Agency.
