(InfoWorld) - With the support of German lawmakers, incumbent telecommunications operator Deutsche TelekomÂ is racing into a head-on clash with the European Commission over a decision to keep rival operators off its new high-speed broadband network. The upper house of the German parliament approved a revised telecommunications law on Friday. The law will allow partially state-owned Deutsche Telekom to ban competitors from using its VDSL (Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) network to sell services. The decision flies in the face of Commission legislation that mandates member states to force telecommunications companies with dominant positions -- in most cases former state-owned monopolies -- into opening their network infrastructure to rival operators on favorable terms. While Deutsche Telekom eventually opened its local-loop infrastructure under pressure from Brussels, the operator has fought attempts to allow competition on its new network. It argues that the VDSL network represents a new market for combined triple-play telephony, high-speed Internet and TV services, and new markets are protected under European Union law; in addition, it needs to protect its â¬3 billion ($3.9 billion) investment in the super high-speed network. German lawmakers have become slightly sympathetic to Deutsche Telekom, which has been bleeding fixed-line customers by the millions and consequentlyÂ forced to lower operating costs, largely through job cuts. Since its privatization, the operator has reduced its workforce from more than 250,000 at the peak to around 180,000 today. Over the years, Deutsche Telekom and the German government have clashed with Brussels on issues including the divestment of the operator's cable TV network and local-loop unbundling. In repeated warnings over the past several months, the Commission has said it will take whatever action is necessary to make Germany observe E.U. law. The issue could land in the European Court of Justice, which is responsible for handling E.U. treaty infringements. Court decisions can take years, however. Rival fixed-line operators, including ArcorÂ & Co., which is owned by the Vodafone Group, have made it clear they don't want the former monopoly telephone operator to be given any advantages to dominate another market as it has with the market for telephone service.

(InfoWorld) - Deutsche Telekom AG is in talks with Apple Inc. about selling the iPhone in Germany and expects the U.S. company to announce its German distribution partner soon, a senior executive said Wednesday in Berlin. "We have held talks with Apple but have nothing more to say at this time," Hamid Akhavan, CEO of the German telco's mobile phone subsidiary T-Mobile International AG & Co. KG, said at a news conference ahead of the IFA consumer electronics show, which opens Friday. Akhavan said he expects Apple to announce its European partners "well ahead" of the important holiday shopping season. Discussion of the iPhone's arrival in Europe intensified following a report in the Financial Times last week about a deal between Apple and mobile phone operators in three key European markets: Germany's T-Mobile, France's Orange SA and Britain's O2 (UK) Ltd. Rumors have been swirling that Apple plans to announce one or more European partners at the IFA event. Apple has not provided details about its iPhone strategy in Europe, other than to sayÂ it plans to launch the device later this year. Akhavan was asked about the iPhone during a question-and-answer session with journalists at the news conference, which was called by T-Mobile to make a variety of announcements, including word of its MyFaves service. T-Mobile plans to launch the service developed by its U.S. subsidiary, in Germany in October, with the U.K. and Czech Republic to follow some time in the fourth quarter. The service, which has attracted more than 2.5 million users in the U.S., allows customers to make inexpensive calls and send text messages to five selected numbers. Users of the MyFaves service in Germany will pay a base fee of â¬15 (US$20) per month and â¬0.05 per call or SMS (Short Message Service) to the selected users, regardless of the network, whether mobile or fixed, T-Mobile or a competitor. MyFaves users making or receiving calls outside of Germany must pay roaming fees, however. "This cross-net offer is unique in Europe, and we expect it to attract lots of users," Akhavan said. More than two-thirds of mobile phone calls are made to the same five people, he said. Â
