According to the president of the Communications Guarantee Authority, Corrado Calabro, “the delay in the development of broadband is costing Italy between1 and 1,5% of GDP. Without ultra-broadband infrastructure, advanced economic systems end up on dead ends”.
Of the worrying data they are the three ministers who make up the control room for the Digital Agenda are also aware. Although the Minister of Economic Development, Corrado Passera, he observed that "for infrastructure, it is supply that generates demand".
However, Calabrò does not completely agree: "When would we have built the motorways if we had waited for the cars that would travel along them to be manufactured first?". According to the outgoing president of the Authority “the telecommunications sector is the cornerstone of the digital revolution which, by enabling innovation, can radically change the paradigms of the economy and society. The Cassa Depositi e Prestiti is a stone guest. On the other hand, there are initiatives by private funds, public administrations and operators which mark progress in terms of concrete achievements”.
