Deutsche Telekom, FON team for German Wi-Fi network
2013-03-04 14:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Global Wi-Fi network Fon and Deutsche Telekom have joined forces to set up a Wi-Fi network in Germany. This will launch under the name 'WLAN TO GO' in summer 2013. Deutsche Telekom has 12 million broadband subscribers and more than 12,000 hotspots across Germany. Telekom CEO Rene Obermann said the partnership supported Telekom's network expansion strategy. He said that it was aiming to provide nationwide WLAN TO GO at more than 2.5 million additional hotspots by 2016. To join the network, Deutsche Telekom's broadband subscribers just need to sign up to the Fon service and share the unused capacity of their internet connection with other users.

Deutsche Telekom eyes stake in Fon - report
2013-01-28 11:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Deutsche Telekom is considering acquiring a stake in Wi-Fi operator Fon as it looks to cope with rising mobile data demand, reports the Wall Street Journal citing unnamed sources familiar with the talks. The sources said that Telekom and Fon have already signed a letter of intent, although the size of the stake and its value are not decided. An agreement with Fon would provide a major boost to Deutsche Telekom's strategy to grow revenues from mobile data services. In Germany, it offers access to over 11,000 hotspots, while through partner networks, customers can access over 50,000 hotspots worldwide. Fon already has agreements with a number of major operators in Europe, including in Belgium, France, the UK, Portugal and most recently the Netherlands, but has yet to partner with a German operator. Fon operates nearly 8 million hotspots worldwide, based on bandwidth sharing with fixed broadband modems sold by the company or its operator partners.
