Business | Telecom Argentina's major shareholders are France Telecom, STET Telecom Italy, and Perez Companc (minor participation). (references) | |
Competitors are max.mobil (majority-owned by Deutsche Telekom), One (owned by Radex Heraklith, VIAG, Orange and Tele Danmark) and tele.ring which started mobile operations in June 2000. Once again, Italy's STET owns 25 percent of Mobilkom. (references) | ||
Until December 1994, when a private consortium called Omnitel Pronto Italia was granted permission to provide mobile services, all telecommunications services in Italy were under the exclusive monopoly of government-controlled STET (later known as Telecom Italia). (references) | ||
Economic History | Bolivia | The company offering long-distance and international telephony -- ENTEL -- was purchased by the Italian firm Stet International Telecom (now owned by Telecom Italia) for US$610 million in 1995. ENTEL enjoys a monopoly on long-distance/international service through November 2001, and rates have remained high by international standards. (references) |
Political Economy | ITALY | In recent years, the Italian government has undertaken a liberalization of this sector, including privatization of the former parastatal monopoly Telecom Italia (formerly STET); creation of an independent communications authority; and allowing both fixed-line and mobile competitors to challenge the former monopoly (which Olivetti acquired in a hostile takeover in 1999). Following the EU's January 1, 1998, deadline for full liberalization of its telecommunications sector, Italy issued more than 140 fixed-line licenses, including to new entrants, with U.S. participation.
