Wind Tre sheds 2 mln lines since Iliad entry - Agcom
The Italian mobile market added a total of 3.0 million lines in the 12 months to end of June 2019, due mainly to a 4.3 million rise in M2M lines, which offset a 1.3 million decline in traditional human SIMs, according to the latest report from regulator Agcom corresponding to the second quarter of 2019. Over 70 percent of the country’s human SIMs now use data traffic, up from 50 percent in June 2015, with the average data consumed surging by 62.1 percent year on year to 5.9 GB a month in the second quarter.

Wind Tre continued to lead the market of human SIMs at the end of June with a 31.5 percent share, down 3.1 percent year on year, above all as a result of the 4.7 percent market share attained by new entrant Iliad in its first 13 months of activity. TIM (Telecom Italia) followed with 27.8 percent, down 1.0 percent, while Vodafone declined 1.2 percent to end the quarter on 25.3 percent of the market. PosteMobile remained fourth with 5.1 percent, up 0.3 percent year on year, and other MVNOs accounted for 5.6 percent of the market, up 0.2 percent.

In terms of portability, Agcom said Wind Tre lost a net total of 1.96 million ported lines in the 12 months to end of June, due above all to the 2.71 million gained by Iliad, while Vodafone shed 820,000 lines and TIM ended the period with a negative figure of 499,000. The year to end of June saw a total of 17 million Italian lines ported compared to 13 million in the previous 12 months.

Counting M2M lines, TIM remained market leader with a 30.4 percent share, down 0.9 percent year on year, followed by Vodafone and Wind Tre, with 29.0 percent and 28.5 percent, down 1.0 percent and 1.9 percent respectively, PosteMobile with 4.0 percent and Iliad with 3.7 percent.
