The new brochure “Bauhof, Kommunalbetrieb, Stadtwerk – Ihr Weg zum schnellen Internet mit gemeindeeigenen Unternehmen” shows grant recipients how to use their own resources for broadband expansion in view of bottlenecks at civil engineering companies.
The construction of the network infrastructure for subsequent network operation is closely linked to the performance of civil engineering, which ties up the largest share of the total investment costs and is regularly associated with high expenditure. In many cases, however, the regionally limited capacities of private civil engineering companies slow down rapid expansion. The guide was compiled with the involvement of the municipal umbrella organizations and the Verband kommunaler Unternehmen e. V. (Association of Municipal Enterprises). It explains how districts and municipalities can be equipped for the digital future with their own resources and serves as an introduction for municipal decision-makers.
