freenet AG is a German telecommunications and digital media company headquartered in Büdelsdorf, operating through three segments: Mobile Communications, TV and Media, and Other/Holding. Its core business is reselling mobile voice and data services from major German network operators as a service provider, alongside the distribution of mobile devices, WiFi network services, and network-independent tariffs such as its freenet Internet app product. The TV and Media segment focuses on broadcast infrastructure services for B2B clients and consumer offerings in DVB-T2 (German digital terrestrial TV) and IPTV, while the Other/Holding segment bundles portal, e-commerce, payment, and digital entertainment services.
The company was originally incorporated as telunico holding AG and renamed freenet AG in March 2005. It is listed on XETRA under the ticker FNTN and classified within the Communication Services sector (Integrated Telecommunication Services). As a mobile service provider without its own radio network infrastructure, freenet follows a service-provider/MVNO-style business model, competing in the German mobile market against incumbent network operators Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, and Telefónica Deutschland (O2).
