Telecoms: Italy

Telecom Italia and Vodafone Italia have signed an agreement to share mobile network access sites, both existing ones and those soon to be built

The agreement regards so-called “passive” infrastructure: poles, cables, electrical and air-conditioning fixtures, and other civil infrastructure.
While maintaining ownership of their own infrastructure, each operator will host the other on radio-mobile stations across the country with the aim of optimizing mobile network coverage. The agreement will not, however, include electronic devices which deliver mobile telephone services to customers or the relative operations management services.
