Fastweb, Tiscali and Iliad. How Tim is doing with FiberCop
The Tim group, through FiberCop, and the French company iliad have signed an agreement that will allow the development of the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) access market. All the details
Waiting for the government and CDP to decide a definitive line on the unitary network project between Tim and Open Fiber – a project that had been renamed as AccessCo – Tim continues to forge alliances for the co-investment in FiberCop, the infrastructure company controlled by Tim (at 58 %) together with KKR Infrastructure (37.5%) and Fastweb (4.5%) and aims to digitize the country through the development of Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) fiber optic connections.
Here are all the details communicated on the Tim-Iliad agreement
Tim, through FiberCop, and the French company Iliad have signed an agreement that will allow the development of the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) access market.
The parties have in fact defined Iliad's participation in the co-investment project on the FiberCop network, the company that builds the secondary fiber optic access network up to the homes.
The adhesion of the Franco-Italian group to the co-investment offer, recalls a note , "follows that of other national operators, such as Fastweb and that in the finalization phase with Tiscali, and confirms the validity of the investment plan of FiberCop which will ensure FTTH coverage of 75% of the gray and black areas of the country by 2025 ”, underlines a note from the group chaired by Salvatore Rossi and led by CEO Luigi Gubitosi.
Tim will also offer Iliad access to the primary fiber network. For Tim, "the agreement reached confirms the effectiveness of the co-investment model", a model that "allows all interested operators to participate in the development of optical fiber in Italy in a framework of infrastructural competition that accelerates the overcoming of digital divides on a national scale ”as well as favoring“ the migration of families and businesses towards ultra-broadband connections with speeds greater than 1 Gigabit per second ”.
FiberCop – underlines Tim – operates on the basis of the co-investment model and represents the first case in Europe of application on a national scale of the new European Code of Electronic Communications.
FiberCop provides operators with passive fiber optic access services and advanced services, operating with maximum efficiency and protection of people and the environment. FiberCop is equipped with a network asset that already today offers UBB connections to over 93% of fixed lines thanks to FTTC and FTTH technologies and will continue to develop FTTH coverage, with connection speeds exceeding 1 Gigabit. The goal is to reach 75% of the real estate units in the gray and black areas by 2025.
