Telecommunications Law: Free Modem and Agcom

Republic, August 2, 2018

Broadband, AGCOM gives the green light: users are free to use any modem.

“"The package of measures adopted," Nicita explained, "will help strengthen the free and informed choice of Italian consumers and create a competitive ecosystem that fosters technological innovation, both in terms of higher-performance connectivity services and the development of more advanced terminal devices that meet citizens' needs." Fulvio Sarzana, a lawyer and expert in digital technologies, added: "The resolution will be successful if it truly addresses the various hidden costs invented by operators. Such as activation costs or mandatory technical assistance for a free modem; or cancellation and product return costs.".
