Bravo, comrades of the mobile communications revolution! The MIG has done it again — or at least managed to fill a beautiful church

On June 17, 2026, the Mobile Communications Infrastructure Company (MIG) celebrated its “4th Naumburg Dialogue” at St. Mary’s Church in Naumburg. A “very well-attended” church, as the Burgenland district proudly posted on Facebook.

Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder, Minister-President Sven Schulze, and various other dignitaries graced the event with their presence, patting themselves and the MIG on the back. “Where there are people, there must be mobile coverage,” they proclaimed with great pathos. How inspiring. Especially when you consider that the very places where people actually live — namely the villages of this country — have been getting little more than sighs from their mobile phones for years.

What a tremendous success!

Five years after its founding in 2021 (as a subsidiary of Toll Collect, because the right people always get the job), the MIG has achieved something remarkable: it hosts conferences in historic churches while, outside in the real world, coverage gaps continue to yawn like open wounds in “Germany, the innovation hub.”

And all of this at our expense, dear taxpayers

Because this illustrious circle of “problem-solvers” is, of course, not doing this out of pure charity in their spare time. Federal Minister of Transport Patrick Schnieder collects nearly €18,000 per month in salary plus allowances — a half-day of back-patting in Naumburg easily amounts to several hundred euros in labor costs alone, all paid for by taxpayers. Minister-President Sven Schulze of Saxony-Anhalt, likewise equipped with a princely state salary, certainly did not arrive in his personal Volkswagen Polo. Then there is Ministerial Director Gertrud Husch on B9 pay grade (well over €10,000 per month), professors with generous university salaries and W2/W3 appointments, members of parliament receiving €11,800 in compensation plus allowances — and, naturally, MIG Managing Director Ernst Ferdinand Wilmsmann, who was already blessed with an annual salary of €160,000–190,000 when the organization was founded.

Once you factor in travel expenses, official vehicles, secretarial staff, overnight stays, catering in the historic church, and the entire bureaucratic overhead, a single morning of “Naumburg Dialogue” likely consumes five- to six-figure sums with ease. All taxpayer money. All for another round of self-congratulation while Grandma Erna in the village still cannot get a decent signal.

5G expansion along the rail network

Managing Director Ernst Ferdinand Wilmsmann beamed with satisfaction — understandable, considering that the MIG may now even be allowed to take over 5G expansion along the railway network. Another milestone in the transfer of bureaucratic competence! Given Deutsche Bahn’s legendary reliability, this should be a walk in the park.

District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) rejoiced: the MIG was “the advocate for rural mobile coverage” and a true “problem-solver.” How touching. A problem-solver that has been allowed to solve problems since 2021 — in other countries, entire cities have been built from scratch in that time. A problem-solver whose event apparently had no room for ordinary citizens — as one commenter aptly remarked: “I don’t see anyone from the general public.” Another comment read: “North Africa has more stable networks than our so-called innovation hub.” Instead, invited guests celebrated one another for their outstanding work. Classic German elite self-congratulation.

Germany, the developing country of digitalization

While even sparsely populated regions in other countries — Scotland, Norway, parts of Spain, or Croatia — enjoy decent coverage, Germany still struggles with the basics. In Norway, people surf the web from a fjord; in Germany, they curse in the forest. The Federal Network Agency paints impressive percentages on the wall (95+% 5G area coverage, hooray!), but every commuter, every farmer, and every emergency physician knows: that is propaganda. In practice: dead zones, dropped calls, no emergency services. But hey — the MIG is currently exploring new responsibilities! Pure progress.

Why can’t Germany manage this? Because politicians and bureaucrats prefer to burn money where it hurts most:

Billions for gender projects, symbolic climate policies, and bloated bureaucracies.
Hundreds of millions for consultants, studies, and “competence centers” like the MIG.
A quick €350,000 annual salary for two managing directors — that was arranged swiftly in 2021, while mobile towers continue to fail for years due to permit procedures, environmental regulations, and citizen initiatives.
And let’s not forget the wonderful COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine adventure. In those cases, money was and remains no object.

But closing coverage gaps? Too difficult. Too rural. Too unattractive for Berlin’s castle-in-the-air builders. Instead, they celebrate themselves in a church and call it a “professional conference.” Splendid. Truly. A standing ovation for this unbelievable efficiency.

Conclusion on this government performance

The MIG is the perfect symbol of this country. Founded in 2021, slated for winding down again by 2025, yet still happily holding conferences and acquiring new responsibilities. A bureaucratic monster that keeps itself alive while its actual mission — comprehensive mobile coverage — continues to be kicked down the road.

But don’t worry, dear citizens. Next year there will surely be a 5th Naumburg Dialogue. With even more speeches of praise. And perhaps, just perhaps, one extra bar of signal. Someday. In the distant future. Once all the reviews and assessments have been completed.
