Agcom green lights Telecom Italia fixed network spin-off
2013-07-25 16:26:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Italian regulator Agcom has given the green light to Telecom Italia's preliminary proposal for spinning off its fixed network as an independent company. Telecom submitted the plan in late May, and Agcom officials met with the company to discuss the technical details. The regulator's evaluation focused on three themes: the services to be provided by the new company; the road map for providing 'equivalence of inputs' (EoI), ie the same services and quality to other wholesale customers as Telecom's retail activities receive; and the governance system for ensuring EoI. Agcom found that the proposal is in line with the guidelines from EU regulator Berec on unbundling, while noting this is only the first step in a process that must include all stakeholders. In September, the regulator plans to start a more in-depth analysis of the proposal and its implications for the wholesale access market. Telecom Italia earlier this month said it was suspending the plan, after Agcom approved a cut in wholesale broadband rates. It has since met with EU regulators over the proposals for a new recommendation on wholesale broadband and said it hopes to make a new decision on the spin-off by the end of this month.

Telecom Italia suspends fixed network spin-off plan
2013-07-16 10:44:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia has decided to suspend its plan to spin off its fixed network, following the recent regulatory decisions lowering wholesale broadband rates in Italy. In a meeting convened 15 July, the board examined the draft decisions by regulator Agcom and decided they resulted in uncertainties that could affect the feasibility of the fixed network separation plan. As a result the plan is suspended until the impact of the regulation can be evaluated. The Italian operator first announced the plan in May and was expected to sell a stake in the new network company to investors as part of efforts to reduce its debt. The suspension of the fixed network plan could help it revive talks to acquire mobile operator 3 Italia from Hutchison Whampoa. These talks were halted earlier due to difficulties valuing a stake for Hutchison in the new company pending the fixed network spin-off.
