ROME – Enel will put the optical fiber into the power grid that will arrive home in businesses and homes of 32 million Italians. It will do so by exploiting the replacement of meters, in 224 Italian cities to areas A and B (non-market failure) in mode fiber to the home (FTTH or fiber to the home). The investments will be approved gradually, to around 2.5 billion euro, explains the number one Francesco Starace. And the network will be open to the participation of other investors, leading funds. These are some of the details of the plan for the development of Enel fiber.
It is also known that in the early years of the plan is expected to be at very high speed coverage of about 7.5 million homes. But what will yield the electricity group diversification in tcl? The return on investment of Enel Open Fiber in the fiber not to market failure in the air (A and B) is around 10%. More. In three or four years, the telecoms holding company could achieve an EBITDA “of about 250 million Euros.” Enel thus is called out of the areas of market failure, that is, without return for a private operator? Infratel will participate in tenders for the management of the service, once the races will be held.
The plan was expected by the market and has all the ingredients to compete with Telecom. At the moment there is a letter of intent for a commercial agreement with Vodafone and Wind. While Telecom goes on his way. But what sense does it overlap with the fiber network to Telecom for a company that works as another? Meanwhile, it makes sense because, for the government and for its plans, Enel controlled by the Treasury is the best candidate to speed on the latest generation of bandwidth across the country.
As for the overlap between Enel Open Fiber and Telecom Italy, “there might be.” Starace admits, “but it’s not important to us, it will not be a problem,” points. Both because the Telecom plan to wire a thousand cities, today “is more an advertisement than a detailed plan.” And because the Enel plan can “integrate” with that of Telecom, as the Enel fiber will “house by house, while the Telecom uses the fiber to” cabinet “in the street (FTTC). And again: “And if we find that they have already done something, we would reduce our investment.” No overlap, however, with Metroweb: “The ten cities where it is present are excluded from our plan.”
Other than ads, responds Remote Telecom. “The 1,000 cities, as stated by President Giuseppe Recchi, they are not an advertisement, but those already actually wired into the telephone group fiber optic ‘, they know sources close to the group. Who will win? As usual depend on prices, since Enel is proposed as a wholesale operator.
