The picturesque district of Mansfeld-Südharz in the heart of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, is set to level up its digital game with millions in funding for rapid internet expansion. The federal and state governments have agreed to foot the bill of around 36 million euros for this project, as announced on Tuesday during the funding notification handover ceremony. The federal government will contribute 25.15 million euros, while the state will chip in with 10.8 million euros.
The district of Mansfeld-Südharz shared that it successfully completed its first subsidized internet expansion last year. Now, the focus is on the third expansion phase, set to be completed by 2025. This phase aims to extend internet access to small villages and businesses outside commercial hubs.
