What is landline? And the mobile one? And how is optical fiber advancing? An updated photograph of the level of digital development of the Tim network is the one that snaps Notebook 2019, created by the Study Center of the telephone group, now in its seventh edition and also available online in open data mode.
In Notebook 2019 With over 10 data, 107 maps and 500 graphs, Tim recounts all the numbers of the Tim Network updated at the end of 2018. The data in Tim's possession confirms the digital leadership of Southern Italy also at the provincial level. In the top ten provinces in terms of traffic consumption, with the exception of the Province of Prato (which ranks 9th), we find all provinces of Southern Italy, specifies the press release with which the group presents the new edition of the database. In first place we find Crotone, Naples and Caserta followed by Palermo, Reggio Calabria, Catania, Syracuse, Salerno and Taranto. The real revelation is Crotone which from 2nd place last year has climbed to the top registering a growth of over 50 Gigabytes/month in just one year, with an increase in average traffic equal to more than double that recorded at a national level.
At territorial level, in 2018 the first three regions that emerge in terms of average data traffic volume per fixed line are the southern regions: Campania (137,4 Gigabytes/month), Calabria (122,9 Gigabytes/month) and Sicily (117,9 .116 Gigabytes/month). In fourth and fifth place we find Lazio (115 Gigabyte/month) and Puglia (XNUMX Gigabyte/month).
And it turns out that Sicily, with 88,9% of homes covered by the new TIM fiber network (mixed with copper) is ahead of Lombardy where coverage reaches 82,4%. Overall, Tim's fiber network is growing and a constantly moving chronograph is there to remind us that the fiber laid has currently reached 17.445.865, 920 kilometres. But in a second that won't be the case anymore.
“Netbook data – concludes Tim's note – confirm that the challenge to be faced at country level is to get those who are still left out of it on board the digital economy, and on this front TIM's commitment is central thanks digital literacy courses, free and open to all, which will start after the summer throughout the country”.
