    Goals / Remit

    The leading German fibre association BREKO represents the majority of all alternative fixed line broadband network operators in Germany. Our around 370 members, including about 210 city and regional carriers as well as municipal utilities, provide urban as well as rural areas with high-performance fibre access. To this end, they invest more than EUR 2 billion every year. BREKO companies thus make a major contribution to the comprehensive fibre deployment in Germany as well as to the achievement of the German Federal Government’s broadband targets.
