An Italian government delegation led by deputy general secretary Raffele Tiscar met EC antitrust representatives to discuss the proposed package of measures to boost top broadband speeds from 30 Mbps to 100 Mbps. Drafts of the document include measures such as a voucher scheme for users who migrate to 100 Mbps broadband and the opening up of the gas and electricity grids of Italian utility companies such as Enel to accelerate the rollout of fibre-optic cables.
