The seventh episode of Battaglie della Rete – the podcast by Assoprovider produced with the editorial support of Radio IT – outlines the risks of a bill under discussion in Parliament

Small providers: a law threatens their existence

This is a special episode of Battaglie della Rete. It concerns an ongoing battle these days. Or rather, it concerns two battles. One is that of the Parliament against online piracy, which takes place with bills presented to the Chambers to be approved and become enforceable. The other, however, is that of Assoprovider to ensure that those bills, while pursuing rightful objectives, do not create economic and working conditions that would wipe out an entire sector: that of proximity operators, the small providers who ensure network access even in the most remote areas of Italy. Valuable entities, especially in the eternal fight against the digital divide.
What is happening, and why is an entire sector at risk of disappearing? Enjoy listening.
