For Open Fiber, historic record of activations in October
Last November 6th, speaking at the National Telecommunications Forum, CEO Giuseppe Gola announced that "in the month of October we made the historical record for Open Fiber, of the number of fiber customer activations, we activated 96 thousand fiber customers in a month, of which 21 thousand in the white areas, that infrastructure that for a long time was thought to be an infrastructure built with public funds but little used, instead this goes in the direction of the digitalization of the country especially also in those areas where it seemed unlikely to be able to bring these infrastructures”.
Gola however underlined the “extremely unbalanced” situation which characterizes Italy with respect to the development of the infrastructure and the use of the service. 'The development of the infrastructure is at a good point, we have reached together with the other operator FiberCorp a coverage exceeding 60% of the real estate units and this is good news because it is practically in line with the European average. From the point of view of the use of the infrastructure we are still very behind, that is take up is very limited, we are around 27% with a European average that is more or less double, around 54%, not to mention the champions in Europe, other countries like France and Spain that cover 70-80%, so we still have a lot to do in this regard”, concluded the CEO of Open Fiber.
