The Digital Networks Act (DNA) offers an opportunity to shape the European mobile market in a way that is future-proof, competitive, and consumer-friendly. However, from the perspective of independent mobile providers and in the interest of consumers, key improvements are required to ensure fair conditions for access and competition on a lasting basis.

What they argued
Investments, innovations, and consolidation in the European telecommunications market can only be realised effectively if the Digital Networks Act succeeds in maintaining and promoting competition. Implementing an access obligation through a regulation is the most effective and simplest means of directly maintaining and promoting competition.
As a telecommunications company with more than 9.5 million fixed-term contracts, freenet AG is the last major network-independent mobile telecommunications provider in Germany. In addition, we operate large parts of the German DVB-T2 network, regional and national DAB+ networks and are a provider of OTT services, including one of the leading IPTV platforms in Germany.
We support option 3 as proposed in the working document of 24.02.2021 as a solution, but compulsorily supplemented with economic measures to strengthen competition from option 2. Strengthening competition is absolutely necessary, especially since a MVNO still cannot offset the costs arising from outgoing roaming traffic against incoming costs.
