    German regulator is seeking high area coverage in exchange for 5 year licence extensions in 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz bands. Also planning spectrum sharing and 'negative' auctions for the future.

    50 Mbps for 99.5% of the surface area from 2030;

    100 Mbps for 99% of households in rural communities in each federal state from 2029;

    A coverage obligation specifically for rural areas and an obligation relating to surface area would help to promote equivalent standards of living in urban and rural areas," said Klaus Müller, President of the Bundesnetzagentur.

    In contrast Ireland’s ComReg has preferred revenue maximisation and arcane spectrum auctions that result in a net disinvestment in rural coverage by the State - effectively a tax on rural coverage.
