Germans to make fast broadband a right
 

Tooting the internet lebensraum horn

Germans will acquire a legal right to fast internet under a proposed coalition between Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives and the Social Democrats (SPD), the man expected to become Merkel’s top aide said in remarks published on Wednesday.

The SPD and conservatives have agreed that if they take power together, they want to ensure that all regions have access to high-speed internet by 2025.

But Helge Braun, designated chancellery chief under the planned coalition, told in an interview with mass-selling Bild newspaper that a ‘grand coalition’ would create the legal framework for people to have a right to fast internet.
