Telecom, Bassanini: also Metroweb in the newco

"I don't believe in re-advertising, but it is possible for the State to encourage the achievement of an agreement on the Telecom network through the spin-off that gives life to a newco containing Metroweb and the pieces of the municipal network": these are the words of the president of CdP, Franco Bassanini.

Telecom, Bassanini: also Metroweb in the newco

A newco with the Telecom network that has "inside Metroweb and the pieces of the municipal network". This could be the solution to make investments in broadband according to the president of CdP, Franco Bassanini.

Speaking at a conference organized by Fiom, Bassanini clarified that “I don't think the network should be republished in the classic sense of the term. On the part of the State, it is possible to encourage the achievement of an agreement on the Telecom network through the spin-off that gives rise to a society that guarantees equal access to operators, puts the regulator in a position to make a regulation that encourages investments.

Cdp and other co-investors, which we may perhaps find, bring the capital, Metroweb ends up in it together with the pieces of the municipal network that are acquired, contributing to the budgets of local authorities".

Incidentally, Bassanini added that in this situation "it is not important that Telecom maintains the majority" of the newco. Today, during the conference, Fiom asked that the Telecom network become public again.
