e& PPF Telecom Group
PPF entered the telecom industry in 2014 and has been transforming it ever since. In 2015, it pioneered the separation of infrastructure from end-user services. This move revitalised both branches of the traditional telecom model by enhancing efficiency, agility, and, above all, management focus.
This innovation has reignited sustainable growth in every telecom operator acquired by PPF. In 2024, PPF spurred a new cycle of growth by partnering with e&, the global technology group, to unlock synergies and drive further innovation. This partnership created the e& PPF Telecom Group.
Yettel and O2
The group serves consumer, corporate, and public sector customers through the O2 and Yettel brands, offering mobile voice, data and text messaging, fixed broadband, multi-platform internet television, and corporate data networks.
