Italy Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Statistics and Analyses 2017 - Research and Markets

The "Italy - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of trends and developments in Italy's telecommunications market. The report analyses the fixed-line, mobile and broadband sectors.

Italy's large telecom market has one of the highest mobile penetration rates in Europe and has benefitted from progressive government programs aimed at developing the fibre broadband sector. The number of broadband subscribers is growing steadily though the DSL segment has begun to contract as subscribers are migrated to the fibre platform.

The fibre sector is spearheaded by efforts from Telecom Italia (News - Alert) and supplemented by investments from other telcos and municipal governments. Regulatory measures have also been introduced to facilitate access to NGNs, while the government is investing 4 billion to provide broadband across the country. The wholesale provider Open fibre has thus far secured two of the three tenders to extend fibre-based broadband access to underserved areas.
