Telecom Italia mulling 15,000 job cuts on Enel plan - report

2016-04-07 10:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia is considering cutting up to 15,000 jobs, equivalent to nearly 30 percent of its workforce, due to increased competition arising from the fibre-optic broadband rollout plans of Italian utility giant Enel, according to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg. Enel recently confirmed plans to invest a total of EUR 2.5 billion to help bring high-speed broadband to around 7.5 million homes in 224 Italian cities. The sources said Telecom Italia may lose around 5 million wholesale customers as a result, most of them from Vodafone Italia and Wind, with Telecom Italia increasingly frustrated by a plan it considers to be unfair competition. Vodafone Italia and Wind are expected to reach a strategic and commercial partnership with Enel to develop the broadband network across Italy.
