network expansion
The expansion or improvement of infrastructure in the form of a network, for example for telecommunications, energy supply, or transport.
Der Netzausbau für schnelles Internet ist in ländlichen Gebieten besonders wichtig.
Network expansion for fast internet is especially important in rural areas.
'Netzausbau' (network expansion) is a compound noun made from 'das Netz' (network) and 'der Ausbau' (expansion). 'Ausbau' itself is derived from the separable verb 'ausbauen' (to expand/develop).
Die Regierung plant, das Schienennetz weiter auszubauen.
The government plans to further expand the rail network.
This word is frequently used with verbs such as 'vorantreiben' (to push forward), 'fördern' (to promote), or 'fordern' (to demand). You can also say 'in den Netzausbau investieren' (to invest in network expansion).
Die Opposition fordert einen schnelleren Netzausbau.
The opposition is demanding faster network expansion.
The term is mostly used for infrastructure. To specify which network is meant, German often uses a genitive or a compound word, e.g. 'der Ausbau des Stromnetzes' (the expansion of the power grid) or 'der Glasfasernetzausbau' (fiber-optic network expansion).
Der flächendeckende Glasfasernetzausbau ist ein wichtiges politisches Ziel.
Nationwide fiber-optic network expansion is an important political goal.
expansion / removal
'der Ausbau' and 'der Netzausbau' both have to do with expanding or improving something that already exists. 'der Ausbau' is the more general word and can be used for many areas, such as transport, services, or skills. 'der Netzausbau' is more specific: it means the expansion of a network, for example for the internet, electricity, or transport. The words can be confused because 'Netzausbau' is a special type of 'Ausbau'. If it is not explicitly about a network, 'Ausbau' is more natural.

In rural areas, network expansion for fast internet is especially important.
