The district of Höxter today became the first recipient of funding for an infrastructure project as part of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure’s (BMVI) Grey Spots program.
With the help of the BMVI’s gigabit funding, the district of Höxter can provide around 300 previously underserved households, schools and companies in the municipalities of Beverungen, Brakel, Höxter, Steinheim and Willebadessen with gigabit bandwidths.
With the Grey Spots Program, the federal government is supporting the expansion of ultra-fast Internet in all areas where bandwidths of at least 100 Mbit/s are not yet available. Previously, this so-called take-up threshold was 30 Mbit/s.
As the sovereign project management organization for the new gigabit funding, aconium is a reliable partner at the side of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. It is responsible for applications in the federal states of Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Schleswig-Holstein.
