Marco pointed out that I didn't comment enugh on the interview made Bernabè on the Sole.
To read all the article: «A Telecom un ruolo chiave nello sviluppo dell'Italia»
The priority is that Telecom manages to finance the new generation net. It the areas which face market failure there already are support instruments, in the others, Telecom needs to count on an adequate reguation asset which recognises the importance of broad band. Sevice suppliers succeed whre there is an efficient infrastructure. In perspective, the other suppliers will turn out to be service suppliers, as for "transportation" there are economies of scale that justify the fact that there are no multiple operators with adequate infrastructures.In the long term there will be only one operator which will mange to cover the entire territory, acquitting also the obbligations of public service.
One network FTTH, bitstream access, global services
If we are realists, this operator can only be Telecom. Either the state intends to develop directly the broad band like in Asia, otherwise it must use the tools it has with regulatory and profit conditions which allow operators to develop it. The only thing to decide is which direction to move. We are available. There are conditions to be discussed with both the Authorities and the Government, but the country cannot miss the opportunity of having these infrastructures. By 2015 we should have an adequate reach.
Let's talk about it. It looks very positive to me. I would immediatly write to him...
Also the other responses on Argentina and Brasil are firm.
Why does this blog exist and why did I quit enterprises and AIIP and why did I sell all the participations I had on the world of TLC?
I quitted and sold to be able to say these things (logos of the smiling fibre, old posts on neutral fibre and open fibre (read bullet 1 and think about today's strategy of TI and Bernabè's Interim...)putting an end to the accusations of a conflict on ineterests. (meanwhile I built myself opportunities on a parallel sector, obviously)
Then I strted the blog almost by chance, and it was a good initiative, considering I have approximately 30.000 unique readers every month (besides those to whom I underwrite the 3 feeds).
Of course now I'm very happy, hoping that Bernabè resists ( even if I have the impression that he built himself a bubble and that Geronzi evidently sent some clear messages), that the Government carries out his part so that the the intentions at the base can actually take place.
