Annual Report as at 31
December 2013

The development of these products and services characterises Tiscali as a unique operator on the
Italian TLC market, thanks to the strong complementary nature of the access products with web-based
services.
Research & Development Activities
During 2013, the Company continued with activities for the development of Over The Top
products/services (Indoona/ Streamago/ Istella) mentioned above.
Indoona is an application which integrates voice with social networks for calling, video calling and
sending multimedia messages from smartphones and PCs. During 2013, a new version of Indoona
was launched (2.2), with a new “live streaming” function which makes it possible to post videos
created on the Indoona notice board in real time. This feature strengthens the “social” nature of
Indoona, which integrates personal communication, social communication and sharing in just one
instrument. As at 31 December 2013, Indoona recorded 1.7 million downloads and 0.62 million
registered users.
Streamago is a platform which enables live streaming and broadcast recording vis-à-vis any fixed
device (PC and MAC) or mobile device. After the success of the consumer version, in 2012 the
Company launched a version addressing the business segment (in particular public institutions /
media).
Istella is a search engine for the Italian web, which is not intended to replace existing engines, but
represents an instrument for extending and expanding knowledge. The objective of arranging and
spreading Italian cultural heritage, among other aspects, has in fact been created. Both Italian and
leading international domains have been indexed for a total of over 4.5 billion pages to date and 200
terabytes of data. It differs from other search engines present on the Internet, since all the users can
add to the database sharing files, documents, photos, images, videos and audio. Istella was launched
in March 2013.
