Italy's PosteMobile to debut FTTH offer in H2

The Italian post office (Poste Italiane) has confirmed plans to launch its first fibre-to-the-home offer in the second half of this year via its PosteMobile MVNO. After signing contracts with Telecom Italia (TIM) and wholesale operator Open Fiber last summer, the post office announced at the presentation of its new '2024 Sustain & Innovate' strategic plan that it will be rolling out its inaugural FTTH offer later this year with a view to boosting the cross-selling activity of its Payments and Mobile segment. The aim is to reach 5.1 million mobile and fixed line customers by 2024, rising to 5.3 million by 2025.

PosteMobile is already the country’s leading MVNO, with a total of 4.62 million customers at the end of 2020, plus revenues of EUR 74 million in the fourth quarter alone. Last year the post office also confirmed that Vodafone would be taking over from WindTre as PosteMobile’s mobile telephony services provider. Vodafone is already responsible for the MVNO’s ‘Casa’ home broadband service and was PosteMobile's original provider when it launched in 2007 before it migrated to Wind's network in mid-2014.
