Successful with Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek: Rottweil district signs cooperation agreement with Deutsche Telekom AG

On March 10, 2016, the cooperation agreement on the public portion of broadband expansion was signed between the district of Rottweil and Deutsche Telekom AG, setting the foundation to successfully digitalize the region. 64,000 households and some 2,500 industrial parks in the district's 21 municipalities are expected to have access to broadband by December 2017, with fast Internet featuring bandwidths of between 30 and 100 Mbit/s. In order to realize the project, about 210 kilometers of fiber optic cable will be laid to 435 state-of-the-art junction boxes, requiring about 160 kilometers of underground construction.
 
The team led by Dr. Stephan Witteler (Partner; Frankfurt) advised Rottweil district comprehensively and assisted on designing the cooperation agreement and advertising it for bids in compliance with state aid and public procurement law.
