The article referenced in your article about that is from 1983. [1] I don't think fibre optics technology was that established at the time. Helmut Kohl's chancellorship was from 1982-1998. During that time, after the German reunion there were large scale investments into an upgrade of the Eastern German infrastructure including fibre glass deployment in the new German Länder. Therefore for a long time this area had some of the most modern telecommunication infrastructure world-wide - and for that matter probably also highway infrastructure.

This doesn’t matter as what you are stating is false assumption. Deutsche Bundespost built a first fibre optics link in 1978[0]. In 1981 they „ruled“ to invest in fibre tech over the next 30 years. Guess who canceled that. You can also find more in-depth Info and should definitely read [1]. Also the Russians got to Kohl in 1986/1987 and offered him the reunification. But he refused in fear to loose the Bundestagswahl of 1987. This guy was one the ridiculous politicians we ever saw. Heck.. the bribe money the CDU owned that was stored in Switzerland even has ties to gold the Nazis stole from the Jews. Never trust anything the CDU does. Never trust anyone of the high ranking politicians. Always ask yourself: Qui Bono?
