Deutsche Telekom to Acquire Polish Fiber Firm Fiberhost for 1 Billion Euros

Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile Polska, is poised to acquire the Polish fiber optic infrastructure group Fiberhost for approximately one billion euros. The deal centers on Fiberhost's extensive network, which was developed around the Poznan-based company Inea.

The transaction is subject to approval from Poland's Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK). Meanwhile, a separate acquisition of Nexera, another fiber optic operator, is awaiting a decision from European Union regulators in Brussels.

This significant investment by Deutsche Telekom underscores the growing importance and potential of Poland's telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in the fiber optic sector. The acquisition is expected to bolster T-Mobile Polska's market position and contribute to the further expansion of high-speed internet access across the country.
