Deutsche Telekom Group CEO Tim Höttges paid a visit to fiber optic network (FTTH) installation projects in Greece, following the announcement of the OTE Group’s strategic plan, which will bring FTTH to 3 million homes and businesses. The plan for the digital future of the country was announced last December to the Prime Minister, Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and the Minister of State and Digital Government, Mr. Kyriakos Pierrakakis, in a meeting held at the Maximos Mansion.
Mr. Höttges talked to the people of the OTE Group who are implementing the project in the area of Metamorfosi, and watched the whole process, from the digging of the trench and the passage of the optical fiber, to the connection with the cabin and the end user. “The projects are progressing dynamically. Well done to our people in Greece who rushed to implement our commitment to the digital upgrade of the country “, said the head of the Deutsche Telekom Group and added:” In the era of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Metaverse, the optical fiber is progress force. Each area that accesses FTTH is upgraded. That’s why this investment is so important. ”

Fiber optics to homes
With a significant increase in total investments to over 3 billion euros by 2027, the OTE Group will cover about 2/3 of Greece’s fiber optic lines to home, responding to current and future needs and creating new prospects for digital development.

We utilize the know-how and the special weight of a Global Group, to support the vision for the digital transformation of the country. “We confirm this in practice with our presence here today,” said Tim Höttges.
