The agreement – preparatory to the finalisation of a definitive contract, expected by the second quarter of 2026 – aims to accelerate the expansion of 5G in Italy." This is according to a statement from Tim, which states that ‘the project, which is subject to authorisation by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy (MIMIT), the Italian Competition and Market Authority (AGCM) and the Italian Communications Authority (AGCom), represents an important step forward in the efficient use of existing infrastructure and will enable broader and more sustainable 5G coverage.’
