Description[?]:
| Herr Präsident, it is time that our country steps out of the digital stone age and finally opens the internet to competition-driven innovation, as other comparable countries have been doing centuries ago. The current, hopelessly outdated quasi-state monopoly is shutting us out of the global race for digital leadership and should be scrapped in favor of a more modern approach. Robert Matsuyama, MdR (LVP - Budenlar) Wirtschaftsminister |
