An investor was to be found for the expansion of the fiber optic network (installation for 100,000 households in the following 3 years), who would acquire a stake of approx. 75% in nöGIG and finance the further expansion.

„Eine leistungsfähige Infrastruktur ist die Basis für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg und für digitale Innovationen. Das Land Niederösterreich sorgt dafür, dass auch ländliche Regionen davon profitieren. Dieses wichtige Vorhaben steht heute auf soliden Beinen. Das haben wir zu einem großen Teil den Managerqualitäten und dem Verhandlungsgeschick von Jürgen Kaiser zu verdanken”.
