BREAKING: Cloudflare peers with DTAG

It's big for them that they made a press release.

Bonn, Germany and San Francisco, CA — September 29, 2026 — Deutsche Telekom AG (XETRA:DTE) and Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced a strategic partnership designed to strengthen the security and resilience of digital infrastructure for enterprises across Europe.

As part of the collaboration, Deutsche Telekom will expand its enterprise portfolio with Cloudflare's security and connectivity solutions.

    DTAG actually peered with someone. I am shocked. I wonder how much money they were spending on Cloudflare traffic to make them want to do this.

    Or if Cloudflare caved and is paying them, but I doubt it.

    @zed said: us insanity.

    If you feel CF is so insane?

    For me it's minding it's own business. Some practices are, for sure, doubtable or discussable, but they have no much insanity and are not so politically oriented.

    Not reality in big corps yet, sadly. Parent Telekom even considered merging with their US subsidary. US marketing is just too strong in making management feel great.

    This reads like DTAG needed access to Cloudflare’s ddos mitigation for enterprise clients, and Cloudflare said “nu-uh” until they got something back.
