Montabaur, 3rd April 2008. The United Internet AG, Montabaur has reopened today the talks regarding a strategic cooperation with freenet AG, Büdelsdorf and Drillisch AG, Maintal which had been terminated on November 19, 2007. As before, United Internet AG is still interested in acquiring the internet/fixed line business and Drillisch AG is still interested in acquiring the wireless telephone service provider business of freenet AG. With regard thereto, the parties will enter into negotiations of potential transactions which may also include a takeover of freenet AG by MSP Holding GmbH which is jointly owned by United Internet AG and Drillisch AG. United Internet and Drillisch aim at completing their negotiations within the next two months. In the context of the current consolidation of the telecommunication market, freenet AG is thereby offered an alternative to the potential acquisition of debitel AG.
