Podcast: Where's the Fast Internet?

Where is the problem with broadband expansion in Germany?

In search of fast internet, we visit a village in Schleswig-Holstein and travel 40 years into the past to find the origin of the broadband debacle.

We speak to a management consultant who, on behalf of the federal government, is to explain how the gigabit internet is finally arriving everywhere.

And we hear from an expert in technology planning in the telecommunications industry why the nagging about broadband expansion annoys him.

We also make two detours to Elon Musk and the Bundestag.
