Vodafone, Sky, Windtre call for Italy’s single network operator to be independent

MILAN: Vodafone, Comcast unit SKY and WindTre said they hoped Italy’s plans for a single full-fiber communications network would create a non-vertically integrated operator able to guarantee neutrality and independence for all players.

The comments came in a joint statement on Monday following a meeting with the chief executives of state lender CDP and phone incumbent Telecom Italia.
