> Who the hell is Cap Debis?

Debis = Daimler-Benz InterServices, sold to T-Mobile (specifically T-Services) in the early 2000s

CAP Debis was a partnership with CAP Gemini.

Today it's mostly enterprise telecom/IT, though that maybe oversimplifies things. It's a big beast in Europe, Germany specifically.

I wonder if T-mobile is aware of that purchase. Sometimes these little known assets get lost by the big predator because they were interested in something very specific of the prey company.

I'm sure TMobile is intimately familiar with their networking assets. They pioneered squatting on MoD space for internal routing to avoid dual homed conflicts. (25.0.0.0/8)

I guess that one makes sense. I was having little luck Googling that name.
