“Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Bahn have a shared responsibility for their customers,” he said. The German rail network covers almost 34,000 kilometres, with around 7,800 kilometres of this making up the country’s key rail routes for ICE and IC trains. This is the part of the rail network that the two companies plan to focus on first, with the aim of providing seamless coverage by 2024. While Germany is in the midst of digitalising its economy, the train network is widely regarded as one of the weakest areas of mobile network coverage. In 2019, the government set a target of achieving 100mb-per-second internet across all the busiest train routes in Germany by 2022.
