The forthcoming litigation seeks to determine whether the Bundesnetzagentur’s methodology aligns with the principles of competition and equal treatment that underpin the European telecommunications legislative framework. By challenging the agency’s decision, 1&1 positions itself at the centre of a broader debate about market access, regulatory impartiality, and the role of incumbents in shaping Germany’s next‑generation mobile infrastructure. The outcome of this case could influence how spectrum is distributed in future rounds, potentially reshaping competitive dynamics within the European telecom sector.
