Deutsche Telekom to not bid for German WiMax licenses

Germany based telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom has said that they are not going to participate in the bidding for German high-speed Internet WiMax licenses.

The company said in a statement on their decision to opt out of this race: “Following extensive technical trials, we have decided not to participate in the license auction.”

Deutsche Telekom added that the technology indeed seems to be very interesting but it does not really represent an alternative to the high-speed fixed-line Internet technology.

The company plans to focus on fixed line high speed technology offerings in the near future.
