Deutsche Telekom AG - Delivering on the Promise of the Communications Revolution

Deutsche Telekom is Europe's largest telecommunications company and one of the worldwide engines of innovation in the industry. Our products and services set standards not only in Germany, but also around the world. We make sure that our customers always have access to state-of-the-art solutions - from high-speed network access services to mobile Internet and beyond - and that they are the first to benefit from the fascinating prospects and possibilities of the communications revolution.

The basis of our success: Execution of our 4-pillar growth strategy

Deutsche Telekom's most important strategic competitive advantage arises from the interaction between the four pillars:

Thanks to the breadth of our positioning, we are extremely strong in every single discipline of the TIMES markets (Telecommunications, Information Technology, Media, Entertainment and Security services) and are already excellently positioned all over to anticipate new mega markets that will emerge in future through the convergence of technologies, media, networks and services. This joining of forces strengthens our competitive position.

Deutsche Telekom covers the entire spectrum of modern telecommunications. This makes us one of the few telecommunications companies in the world to offer genuinely integrated solutions from a single source.

We are continuously driving ahead the internationalization of the Deutsche Telekom Group with a variety of strategic shareholdings. Besides our excellent positioning in the heart of Europe, we also have a range of shareholdings in Central and Eastern Europe, giving us a better position than our competitors. The acquisition of U.S. mobile communications operator VoiceStream Wireless made T-Mobile International the largest mobile communications operator in the world utilizing the digital GSM technology standard. Deutsche Telekom's mobile communications licenses on both sides of the Atlantic cover more than 500 million potential customers.
