View company profile

Deutsche Telekom AG's journey began in 1995, born from the privatization of Germany's state-owned telecommunications monopoly, Deutsche Bundespost. This monumental shift marked Germany's entry into a liberalized telecommunications market. In its early years, the company focused on modernizing the existing infrastructure and expanding its service offerings beyond traditional fixed-line telephony. The 1990s were a period of rapid technological advancement and increasing competition, particularly with the rise of mobile communications and the internet. Deutsche Telekom navigated this dynamic landscape, making strategic moves to establish itself as a major player. A significant early step was its public listing in 1996, with shares traded on both the Frankfurt and New York stock exchanges, signaling its global ambitions.

The new millennium saw Deutsche Telekom embark on a path of international expansion and diversification. A key milestone was the acquisition of VoiceStream Wireless in the United States in 2000, which eventually became the cornerstone of T-Mobile US, a major force in the American wireless market. This move, though bold and initially challenging, proved to be a critical driver of future growth. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Deutsche Telekom continued to invest heavily in new technologies, including broadband internet, IPTV, and the expansion of its mobile networks, including 3G, 4G, and now 5G. The company also consolidated its brand, with T-Mobile becoming its prominent international mobile communications arm. Under the leadership of CEOs like Ron Sommer, Kai-Uwe Ricke, René Obermann, and currently Timotheus Höttges (since 2014), Deutsche Telekom has transformed from a traditional telephone company into an integrated telecommunications giant, offering a wide array of digital services, cloud solutions, and ICT for business customers. Today, Deutsche Telekom stands as one of the world's leading telecommunications providers, with a significant presence in Europe and North America, constantly evolving to meet the demands of an increasingly connected and digital world.
