T Italia, Fastweb Team Up on FTTX

September 14, 2012 |

MILAN -- Telecom Italia and Fastweb, Italy's two leading telecommunications infrastructured operators, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation on the development of their next generation FTTCab networks.

Telecom Italia and Fastweb have each launched their own development plan for a national next generation network and the agreement will enable them to identify and exploit opportunities in areas of common interest to optimize costs and investments, by sharing existing passive infrastructure and coordinating their realization efforts to speed the roll-out of fibre optic.

The Memorandum allows the two companies to share costs and investments in infrastructure construction.

The two operators will retain total freedom and autonomy in the development of their own network platforms, technology decisions and commercial offerings. The Memorandum will be implemented in full compliance with industry and antitrust regulations and will be open to all operators who wish to coinvest in FTTCab infrastructure and platforms.
