And it’s only an issue with the CDU on federal level prohibiting any move towards it, often with contradictory arguments why.

Evil tongues claim that they just want to protect T-Mobile’s business, being corrupt.

Luckily, on state level that’s not yet an issue, the parliament of Schleswig-Holstein just approved a test project of running some Freifunk nodes on/in public buildings, and a local company has started putting up free hotspots everywhere in Kiel.




Eh, I somehow feel like the federal SPD is just so positive on the topic right now because they know the CDU will work against them anyways.

I hope pressure and organization from state or city level will help somewhat. Public organisations can provide similar shields as the commercial providers do right now, and once somebody makes a state look stupid the federal level will have more of an incentive to fix it.
