Open Fiber just announced new ones Common for which it is open saleability to operators in the context of 1 Giga Italy planthe first of the public intervention plans of the Italian Strategy for Ultra Wide Band to guarantee all users a connection speed in line with the European objectives of Gigabit society and the Digital Compass.
In this regard, perhaps it is time to know how to check the coverage of the various operators, because this news, although positive, does not necessarily imply that you will now be able to access FTTH fibre.
The reason is simple. The fact that Open Fiber, winner together with TIM of the 3.5 billion euro Pnrr tender, opens up sales to a Municipality, does not mean that this Municipality was not already covered at least in part from other plans FTTH with private investment, but only that it is the first time that it has been covered by the 1 Giga Italy Plan.
This is because the municipalities that appear in these lists include gray areas (areas where broadband connectivity coverage via optical fiber is partial or limited), therefore served by Pop (Point of Presence), i.e. infrastructure nodes that host the elements of the fixed access and transport/backhauling network, pre-existing or new in proximity to Bound PCNs.
The areas in question, however, can also be part of Municipalities which can be partially black areas (areas with at least two ultra-broadband networks from different operators) and therefore already covered, and it is not certain that all the operators present in the privately invested area will open the saleability even in the areas of the 1 Giga Italy Plan (indeed, at the moment few do so). The reason is that they follow a sales agreement different which must be accepted in advance.
Alternatively, it should be borne in mind that the presence of a Municipality in the list indicates that some addresses are covered but not that the whole municipality is.
This is because at the start of the marketing coverage is to be understood partialeven if from here to the end of the plan there availability will expandboth for these Municipalities and for those announced in recent months.
Finally, keep in mind that it is possible that the sites of the various operators are not yet available updated, therefore always check the coverage, but above all that the operator sells in the areas of the 1 Giga Italy Plan, a rather rare event at the moment.
But let’s not waste time and find out the new 13 municipalities in FTTH of the 1 Giga Italy Plan:
