The German Telekabel GmbH (DTK) was up to the assumption by the PrimaCom on 17 March 2014 independent German cable operators and as such mainly in Tele Columbus active area and partly in other states. The company supplied households in the catchment area with digital television and radio, high-speed Internet and telephony, and also made mobile communications available via specially built and operated multimedia broadband cable systems. In mid-September 2014, the Primacom product portfolio was completely taken over and the website was also adapted to Primacom's CI. According to its own information, DTK was one of the largest independent, nationwide operating cable network operators in Germany and most recently supplied around 270,000 households. Today the brand name "deutschetelekabel" is only used by the Primacom group as a separate B2B branding for housing customers.
history
In 1976, through the merger of the cable network operators AKF-Antennenbau and Kabelfernsehen GmbH Frankfurt am Main and Telekabel Kabelservice GmbH Bad Homburg, AKF-Telekabel GmbH was created. Their core business was the operation of cable systems. In 2003 Gehag GmbH - today: Deutsche Wohnen AG - acquired AKF-Telekabel GmbH, which then operated nationwide on the cable market with a realigned core business as AKF-Telekabel TV- und Datennetze GmbH. Thus today's DTK has its roots in the housing industry. In 2008, Versatel AG finally bought AKF-Telekabel TV- und Datennetze GmbH, which from then on was called Versatel Telekabel GmbH. Since October 2010 the company has been called DTK Deutsche Telekabel GmbH after it was taken over by the international investor Checkers Capital and the management team. Together they founded ACN Telekabel Holding GmbH as the parent company of DTK Deutsche Telekabel GmbH [4]. In June 2011, ACN Telekabel Holding GmbH acquired the Hamburg cable network business Martens from EWE TEL GmbH. With this transaction, the DTK Group was able to expand its business activities to northern Germany. In March 2014, DTK was taken over by the Leipzig cable network operator PrimaCom, which in turn was bought by the larger, listed competitor Tele Columbus a year later in July 2015.
On October 4, 2017, Primacom and DTK merged into the newly created umbrella brand Pÿur .
