Italy sets sights on 'broadband everywhere'

2016-04-07 14:57:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi has reiterated his government's goal of "broadband everywhere" at an event in Rome attended by the chief executives of operators Wind, Vodafone Italia and utility giant Enel. Renzi said the first tenders to build a high-speed broadband network in digital divide areas that have been unable to attract private investment (known as clusters C and D) will be launched on 29 April. The event also saw Enel reveal further details of its EUR 2.5 billion plan to help bring ultrafast broadband to around 7.5 million homes in 224 Italian cities via its newly-created Enel Open Fiber venture. Enel CEO Francesco Starace said work would begin in the cities of Perugia, Catania, Cagliari, Bari and Venice, to be followed in the autumn by Florence, Genoa, Naples, Palermo and Padua.
