United Internet's 1&1 to take part in German 5G auction

FRANKFURT, Jan 24 (Reuters) - United Internet (IOB: 0GE4.IL - news) 's mobile unit 1&1 Drillisch (IOB: 0E6Y.IL - news) said it would apply to take part in Germany's auction of 5G licences, potentially opening the way for it to become the country's fourth network operator.
