Deutsche Telekom added 600,000 DSL lines in Q1 2005, bringing its total number of DSL subscribers to 6.7 million. In Germany, the company now has 6.4 million DSL lines, of which 500,000 are resold by competitors. T-Online has also positioned itself as a full-package DSL provider in Germany since February 1, 2005 by marketing the DSL line together with an Internet access and hardware components.
Some additional highlights from Q1:
Deutsche Telekom’s net revenue increased by 3.5% year-on-year, from EUR 13.9 billion to EUR 14.4 billion. Group EBITDA was up 6.3%, from EUR 4.6 billion to EUR 4.9 billion compared with prior-year quarter.
Revenue in the Broadband/Fixed Network segment decreased; however, the decline in the loss of market share in the local and national long-distance markets slowed down.
The total number of telephone lines (including ISDN channels) is now 56.6 million, down from 57.9 million a year earlier.
The number of mobile subscribers rose by a further 1.5 million during Q1, around 1.0 million of which were recorded at T-Mobile USA, giving the company a total of 78.9 million mobile customers across its various groups.

You just read about Deutsche Telekom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
VoiceStream Wireless built National GSM mobile operator in the United States. What became of it?
VoiceStream Wireless brought National GSM mobile operator in the United States to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Deutsche Telekom for US$35B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Deutsche Telekom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about DSL. Here is what it replaced:
BPL (Broadband over Power Line) served 2004–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
BPL (Broadband over Power Line) injected high-frequency data signals onto medium/low-voltage power lines, using the electrical grid as the last mile - but radiated interference and noisy lines undid it. Its job passed to DSL — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
