Annual Report as at 31
December 2014

With regard to the value of the mobile termination, a further decalage is envisaged (less sensitive than
in the previous quarter), or rather there will be a change from the current 0.98 €cent/min to 0.92
€cent/min in 2017; a reduction of 0.02 €cent/min per year starting from 1 January 2015.
In conclusion, the procedure relating to the new market analysis of the rented lines, launched in 2013,
is still underway, extended in 2014 and supplemented by a new resolution (resolution No.
559/14/CONS, Public consultation concerning the identification and analysis of the market for access
to high quality wholesale with fixed workstation).
Procedure relating to the partial cancellation of the rules underlying the access services to the
fixed network for the years 2010-2012
In October 2013, AGCOM launched a procedure (resolution 563/13/CONS), extended several times
and recently concluded, by means of which the Authority executed the sentences of the Council of
State No. 1837/13, 1645/2013 and 1856/2013 relating to resolutions No. 731/09/CONS and
578/10/CONS, which cancelled certain criteria underlying the approval of the economic conditions of
the reference offers relating to the period 2010-2012 for the main access services.
The outcome of the procedure led in particular to a recalculation of the unbundling fee for the period
indicated: in particular - as requested by the Council of State - the Authority reconciled the costs of the
corrective maintenance of the unbundling with the real underlying costs, also taking into consideration
the incidence of the contracts with third party companies which then regulated the performance of
these activities on behalf of Telecom Italia.
The new values recalculated for the three-year period under review, are as follows: 8.65 and 8.90
EUR/month respectively for 2010 and 2011, and 9.05 EUR/month for 2012.
In light of the new and additional sentence of the Council of State No. 06083/2014 by means of which
the approval of the fees for the Bitstream Naked service for 2009 was cancelled, AGCOM opened a
new procedure for the recalculation of the values relating to the Bistream and WLR services.
Market analysis of the fixed network access services
AGCOM recently approved the resolution framework for market analysis of access to wholesale to the
Telecom Italia fixed network valid for the period 2014-2017.
By means of this provision framework, the Authority submits two different regulatory scenarios for
public consultation, both aimed at spreading the technologies for access to the ultra broadband.
 The first scenario (“Alfa Scenario”) considers the national one to be a single market and
modulates the imposition of obligation in continuity with the previous regulatory cycle,
consolidating the innovations introduced in 2013 (reduction of the wholesale prices, access to
the cabinet and multi-operator vectoring) which already encouraged competition between
operators and investment in new-generation networks.
 The second scenario (“Beta Scenario”) is based on the recognition of differentiated
competitive conditions in certain areas of the country, and defines the necessary remedies,
adapting them to the specific market set-ups identified in these areas. Specifically, this second
proposal envisages regulatory conditions and differentiated prices in the areas (Central or
Municipal, so-called B Areas) in which the NGA investments of at least two operators will be
concentrated, with respect to the areas in which these conditions do not take place (A Areas).
The distinction between the two types of area depends on the achievement of a certain
coverage threshold (around two thirds) by at least two ultra broadband networks.
