O2 Germany adds fixed alongside wireless

O2 Germany has embraced DSL technology to provide its customers with integrated mobile and fixed DSL broadband services. The services, to be available from late October, can be viewed as the latest example of fixed mobile convergence.

But given the operator already offers Surf@Home, a box integrating 3G and wireless LAN technologies for fast internet access without the need for a fixed line, it confirms the view that wireless will always be chasing fixed in terms of access performance. (See 4G post below.)
