The contract stipulates, inter alia, that 1&1 Versatel will provide the transport network (in particular fibre optic lines) as well as data centres and the corresponding data centre infrastructure for the construction and operation of the mobile network. Other services to be provided by 1&1 Versatel in connection with the construction and operation of the new mobile network will be subject to separate agreements.

The prices are subject to standard market price adjustment mechanisms.

It is expected that the payments to be made by 1&1 Mobilfunk GmbH to 1&1 Versatel under the contract in connection with the first build-out stage of data centres and corresponding data centre infrastructure as well as the transport network until year-end 2025 will amount to approximately EUR 170 million. 1&1 AG indirectly holds 100% of the shares in 1&1 Mobilfunk GmbH.
