Yup your sources are pretty much correct. Telekom owned a share probably equal to the four or five largest partners in the tolino “alliance” and provided web, app and database technologies and oversaw some of the development of the devices (there is yet another company involved, remains to be seen if they are actually part of that deal or not) and those bits of the tolino “ecosystem” have been sold. The book retailers still operate their independent shops all of which are connected via the former Telekom backend. Remains to be seen what will change once Rakuten wants to start saving money by exploring “synergies” between the brands
