While waiting for the situation in Telecom Italia to be clarified, after the raid by the French tycoon Xavier Niel, Metroweb, the company controlled by F2i and Fsi-Cdp and chaired by Franco Bassanini, is moving forward on the ultra-large bank with Vodafone and Wind.
Metroweb will soon announce that it has signed the renewal for another two months of the letter of intent with the two telephone operators, which expired on October 31, which provides for the implementation of ultra-broadband investments at a national level in the wake of the Renzi government plan .
The renewal of the letter is the signal that Metroweb does not intend to stop even if the situation remains conditioned by developments in the Telecom Italia case, where the blitz by French financier Xavier Niel called everything into question, but also by the presentation of Enel's plan for the development of ultra-broadband in disadvantaged areas.
The crucial point is to understand whether it is now possible, after Telecom's initial refusals of any condominium hypothesis of the network, to gather all the operators around a table and possibly in a single company - which had been identified as Metroweb Sviluppo (fully controlled by Metroweb but protected from Fastweb's veto rights) – to accelerate the investment plan in the ultra-broadband network.
The situation is very complex but decidedly in flux.
