MAY 30, 2021 – In the fourth episode of Battaglie della Rete – the podcast by Assoprovider realized with the contribution of Sicetelecom, TPlink, and AVM and the editorial support of Radio IT – we recount the battle to liberalize Wi-Fi in Italy.

The liberalization of Wi-Fi in Italy

An almost unconscious battle, conducted on the wave of radio links created in the most remote corners of the country to ensure network access for everyone and concretely combat the digital divide. But precisely by using that technology at the moment when in Italy ADSL was speeding up the network and retiring the old 56k modems, local operators realized that they could fight for a new milestone, for a new conquest. What seems obvious to us today – accessing a Wi-Fi network from a beach or a café table – is possible thanks to the battle we recount in this episode. Enjoy listening!
