Italy is a developed European country, and its telecommunications market is logically advanced and ripe. Even until its liberalization in 1998 it was the fifth largest in Europe; however, mobile and broadband sectors were still at the initial stage of their development, and government monopoly impeded its further progress. Still, when the incumbent company, Telecom Italia, was privatized, it provided ground for healthy competition. Nowadays the mentioned company is still prevailing over its competitors but cannot be considered monopolistic. It faces competition in fixed-line telephony market, as well as mobile and broadband sectors. However, it should be mentioned that landline telephones have lost their popularity to mobile ones, and the number of cellular phone users is significantly higher. Mobile penetration in the country is over 150%, but the subscriber base growth has been slowed by the state regulator, due to deactivation of user accounts, a measure taken to encourage better services, both voice and data, and increase average revenue per user. It still continues to decline but the policy taken will gradually increase its value. Mobile operators use both prepaid and postpaid plans for voice services. Mobile data sector is considered as highly important, as the companies are eager to increase user connectivity to the Internet through mobile phones, using mobile broadband (HSDPA) technology. 3G penetration is quite high in comparison with other European countries. Much attention is paid to VoIP connections, as an alternative to fixed-line and mobile services.

Mobile operators in Italy are represented by TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile), which still accounts for 41% of the market share and remains its leader, OPI Vodafone, owning 31% of market share, WIND with 16% and 3 (Hutchison). TIM and Wind show a steady tendency to increase their market share, with Vodafone losing positions to them. Broadband Internet market is lead by Telecom Italia, opposed by several ADSL and cable ISPs. The industry can be characterized as advanced due to successful deployment of ADSL2+ services and fibre technology, which have stable financial support. Internet sector is considered one of the most advanced in Europe, but average connection speed is still lower than that of neighboring European countries. Broadband sector is also complemented by highly advanced digital television services, provided by several private companies.
