One of the important assets in 1&1's 5G construction is 1&1 Versatel, which is 100% owned by United Internet.1&1 Versatel owns one of the largest fibre networks in Germany. The network spans over 47,013 km and is available in 250 German cities, including 19 of the 25 largest cities. 1&1 will leverage this network as 5G backhaul. | One of the important assets in 1&1's 5G construction is 1&1 Versatel, which is 100% owned by United Internet.1&1 Versatel owns one of the largest fibre networks in Germany.

# HSBC Projects that 1&1 might be able to offload 30-50% of its customers from Telofonica network into its own by 2025(before access to national roaming in Telefonica's network gets limited in June 2026). That means up to 50-70% of 1&1's clients risk getting limited network. This may result in these clients moving to other networks<ref>http://www.d-long.com/eWebEditor/uploadfile/2019101622405834124458.pdf (page 63)</ref>. | |||
# HSBC points out that future low-band spectrums (800MHz,1,800MHz and 2,600MHz licences to be renewed in 2024) may come with higher coverage obligations as well as minimum speed and latency. This may not be good for 1&1, especially if its network will not have picked up in 2024<ref>http://www.d-long.com/eWebEditor/uploadfile/2019101622405834124458.pdf (page 63)</ref>. | |||
# 1&1 risks being penalised for failing to meet its 2022 network obligations. In the worst case scenario, its license might be suspended<ref>https://winfuture.de/news,134151.html</ref>. | |||
