Freenet has put its German broadband business up for sale with the management board inviting potential bidders to declare their interest. According to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms database, Freenet claimed 1.28 million high speed internet subscribers at the end of 2007, giving it a 6.53% share of the market. The decision by Freenet marks the latest development in the ongoing consolidation of the German fixed line and broadband markets.
