In recent years, the telecommunications sector has experienced a major phase, mainly supported by public investments directed toward select operators and by accelerated technological innovation. Today, as the final phase of the NRRP approaches, the industry faces a new challenge: transforming that extraordinary momentum into a sustainable growth model that supports the country’s long-term economic growth.
Fulvio Siotto, General Manager of FibreConnect, explains how to guide and support Italian SMEs through the digital transition and growth following the end of NRRP funding, focusing on simplification, synergy, and new investment strategies.
In the recent past, the debate centered on the need to bridge the connectivity gap – through the expansion of fiber optics and the development of 5G – whereas today the focus has shifted to ensuring investment continuity and system stability. The country shows points of strength alongside critical issues that still need to be managed. According to recent data, FTTH coverage in commercial and industrial areas reaches around 70-75%, with significant disparities between regions: many SMEs still lack access to ultra-fast connections.
