German unification changed the environment and the performance requirements of both German telephone systems. Using the projections of the future network structures as a guideline, this paper analyzes the decision- making process (November 1989 - December 1990) on their technical reconfiguration. First, the system's corporate actors developed a program that followed their interests, but neglected the acute needs. Adaptation to the performance requirements of the environment had to be enforced by the threat of major interventions into the telephone system. The structure of the technical basis of the new German telephone system can be understood as the results of the interaction among a set of corporate actors, since their interests and their acting shaped the technical configuration and the strategy to introduce this configuration.
