This time the French have nothing to do or rather are not the cause. The new grain at home Telecom Italy is called broadband: the agreement signed today between its competitors with Enel Wind and Vodafone could in fact lead to an overcooked heavy for telephone Group, ie 15 thousand redundancies according to estimates of the trade unions. The bleeding in the labor catchment area of Telecom would in fact determined by the overlapping of part of its network with that of Enel Open Fiber, which is now really ready to create its own network, ultra-fast optical fiber, to reach 224 Italian cities and 7, 5 million homes within three years.
“This situation is likely to put in great difficulty a market area where Telecom has been leading up to now: Enel would go to overlap, and if the French Vivendi were to decide for unbundling would put into question the overall resilience of Telecom Italy, “said the general secretary of Uil Uilcom, Salvo Ugliarolo, to ‘ Huffington Post . “The risk of redundancies can be born with the unbundling, which is the core business, and involving thousands of workers, we are in a situation of great confusion and concern,” he adds. To quantify the risks of ” war on optical fiber between Enel and Telecom is the secretary of the CISL Fistel, Vito Vitale, explaining how the competition caused by the “trade agreements with Enel, Wind and Vodafone will result in a substantial decline in revenues for Telecom Italy resulting overstaffed “that can oscillate between” 15 thousand and 20 thousand “redundancies.
The advanced Enel is likely to send Telecom haywire and the ‘silence’ of the Government on the domestic situation of the telephone group is another area of concern for unions. “There is confusion and uncertainty also because the Government, despite the great activism, did not indicate a clear indication of travel and above all does not say anything about the buoyancy change of Telecom despite the French people have taken over the company,” thunders Rosario Strazzullo CGIL who followed the band ultra dossier closely. The era of Flavio Cattaneo has not yet officially begun, and the situation becomes even more complicated: “With the vacuum that is determined prior to the appointment Cattaneo has established a stalemate that has fueled a big concern because even in company French efforts made so far to cut costs are not enough and this climate throws even more uncertainty about the transalpine intentions regarding the strategy for the fiber “, points out the class secretary of Uil.
The temperature of the fiber is now boiling. On the one hand, Enel will celebrate tomorrow the start of his new business with a press conference at Palazzo Chigi in the presence of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. The other part, Telecom home, it is time to worry and uncertainty. Out only a few days ago by the redesign imposed by France’s Vivendi, first shareholder of the group, which led to the CEO’s replacement Marco Patuano with Cattaneo, for the phone company the way it is again rising. Enel, in fact, with his plan aims to so-called zones ‘A’ and ‘B’, the most profitable and especially those where Telecom pointed to a 84% coverage by 2018. From tomorrow onwards will no longer be alone and He will defend his opponent a share of that 45% of the population already covered. It is true that Enel will limit itself to a purely infrastructural role, placing the dark fiber, but at the same time it is clear that the operators involved, at least for now, are direct competitors of Telecom, that Vodafone and Wind.
Between the two litigants there is a third, Metroweb, which might smile, resulting determinant not for itself but for one of the two competitors. The company has partnered with Vodafone and Wind, and aims to cover other ten cities by 2020, as well as Milan, Bologna and Turin, where it already has. Metroweb could continue to run alone or reach an agreement with Enel or Tim. If you were to stretch out for the choice of the assist then the fiber match, which from tomorrow will participate also in the forefront Enel, is likely to ignite yet.
