The Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Networking Agency, short BNetzA) presented a draft of a decree which is supposed to make the telecommunication market more transparent for customers and which should also get rid of “Routerzwang” – the problem that your provider requires you to use the router they sent you and nothing else instead.
