Expansion of digital infrastructures in Rhineland-Palatinate (broadband)
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe state government of Rhineland-Palatinate is promoting the establishment and expansion of digital infrastructures as well as the construction of WLAN hotspots in municipal areas. The availability of high bandwidths (50 Mbit/s) increased by 78.7 percentage points from mid-2011 to the end of 2018 to 85.5 percent from the end of 2018. Rhineland-Palatinate is thus in first place in terms of growth in the federal states during this period.
In the coming years, the network infrastructure change from copper to fiber optics will be the focus of all efforts. The network alliance for Rhineland-Palatinate from the telecommunications industry, its associations, the municipal leaders and the chambers has also agreed on this together with the state.
