... if this is not Mafia! The insert
"Nova" Il Sole 24 Ore has today published the following blurb:
TLC & MARKET SOON THE RULES FOR THE "NAKED DSL"
The broadband for those who have no fixed line
is approaching the decisive round for naked DSL market rules, which this fall involves operators such as Tiscali, Fastweb, Vodafone. ADSL users are those sold without a traditional voice line, and until recently were only provider in the lists of small-medium. Nova24, with a survey of operators, estimates about 100 thousand active in Italy. "By mid-November to establish what the additional fee that Telecom Italy has the right to charge operators naked DSL for each of them activated, "said Enzo Savarese, Agcom Adviser (Communications Authority).
Agcom is currently directed to set a fee that is equal to that of the baseline residential (€ 14.57 per month) for around 12 per cent, said the operators at a meeting in Naples on 26 October, provoking anger and controversy. Aiip (the leading association providers, including Tiscali there), Bt Italy (formerly Albacom Bt) and Fastweb, among others, have thundered against Agcom, please consider a resolution in February, already passed under review by the European Commission, was was to be a retail minus 30 percent for the additional charge of naked DSL.
If the operators will pay more will have to reduce its margins or increase the fee to users (and thus risk losing them). At the retail minus 12 percent favorable and, in addition to Telecom Italy, only Wind.
Agcom seems biased in favor of the alternative against another application for Telecom Italy: the retroactive fees aggjuntivi. Telecom would like to cash them calculated from July 2005, the month in which he had launched a new wholesale offer for naked DSL, but then later blocked by AGCOM. Among other things, had also issued invoices for these fees, from December 2005 to May 2006, but has never received (providers, have returned to the sender, saying that the wait will Agcom). Retroactivity would be a blow to the coffers of small to medium sized players (up to 50 000 subscribers), which now have almost all the modes naked DSL active.
So much for the free market, the Telecom study refer to all of the revenue lost due to the migration of ADSL users who are tired of the Most High level of service provider in Italy less avoidable, decide the fate groped by other operators service.
So if a user decides to break away from mom and adopt a SIP carrier alternative in hopes to stop the circus that was foraging Tronchetti Provera, her hopes be disappointed!
Not only that Telecom would claim also that the decision was retroactive!
In the interest of free choice and free markets well I hope that the author rejects the request.
