Broadband Office of the Federal Government

The project

One of the most important infrastructure issues in Germany is the expansion of broadband. With the Federal Broadband Office (BBB), aconium GmbH has taken on an important task regarding communication and information on this topic since December 2010.

The BBB is a competence centre of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI).

The BBB is the central point of contact for all interested communities, companies and last but not least the citizens. This is where information is collected, evaluated and passed on and where strategies are developed.

The aim of the BBB is to support the development of broadband, which includes:

• Speeding up the nationwide rollout of broadband in Germany
• Maintaining contact with the competent authorities of the countries
• Development of guidelines on current topics
• Organisation and monitoring of dialogue events, workshops and seminars
