Heini,

is Telekom a terestrial provider, or are they into mobile networking ?
I thought that Vodafone, is the biggest, with maybe Wannado being next, then possibly Orange

In Germany the telekom is No 1 for everything, well nearly.

Telekom still holds the vast majority of the terrestrial sector.

As T-mobile is clear leader in mobile sector, with Vodafone coming in second.
Third is E-plus, as of lately completely owned by KPN, Netherlands counterpart to Telekom. E-plus is the company starting put with i-mode these days.

T-online is #1 portal, and #1 ISP by lenghts.
