In Germany, there are still many “dead zones” in mobile communications, where service is not available. The government will also set up a mobile infrastructure company that is able to support the expansion—possibly by awarding contracts themselves. “Everyone would like a powerful and nationwide mobile network, but sometimes expanding the sites for mobile poles fails due to local pushback," stated the initiative. This resistance is often rooted in optical reasons; the mobile network poles are not so nice to look at. The mobile network strategy is a major theme of the mobile communications summit carried out by Germany, which began on Sunday in Meseberg in Brandenburg.
