The government releases the first resources for the plan ultrawideband: on the plate immediately 2200000000 for interventions in 6800 cantierabili common by 2020 in so-called white areas, ie those of market failure, where the private operator, without incentives, it would not invest in convenience. “It’s a real innovation for our country,” the prime minister warns that Renzi announced: “In the autumn will start the first interventions, the goal is the total coverage of the country.”

The plan – remember Renzi – “worth 12 billion, 5 private, 7 public”, and these 2.2 billion just unlocked represent “the first check”: “For mobile operators – said the Prime Minister – there is nothing but get involved. ”

The first step to implement the plan that aims to recover the major delays that our country has with the rest of Europe arrived yesterday just after the Council of Ministers when the CIPE has fired special resolution that unlocks just 2.2 billion. This first tranche coming from the development fund and cohesion – of the approximately 4.9 billion that will be mobilized by the government – are additional 2.1 billion provided by the European Regional Fund (ERDF and EAFRD) that drives the upstream resources total public at 7 billion. A substantial public investment, which in turn should enable, according to the most optimistic estimates remember yesterday by the Prime Minister, up to 5 billion by private individuals for a total of just 12 billion.

The decision should enable fired yesterday yards, with the first expected calls already in October 6800 in common in so-called clusters C and D: the areas where they serve precisely that government incentives to start private investment or where even can get only public intervention. These areas where – recalls the resolution – lives “35% of the Italian population.” The methods of the investment will be public-private partnerships, interventions to incentives with racing Infratel and direct interventions of Infratel in which the company’s in-house Ministry of Economic Development and implementing party plans broadband and ultra wide government realizes infrastructure and remains proprietary.

But the resolution also indicates the next stages of the plan to spend the remaining $ 2.7 billion available. In particular, 1.3 billion will be allocated with a subsequent resolution of the CIPE for the completion of broadband to 100 mega cities and larger municipalities, the so-called cluster A and B ‘include – adds the resolution – about 65% of the population Italian. ” These are areas “in which private operators are already present in some form or have investment plans, in-house or public-private partnership.” These resources are then added about 1.4 billion that will be used as soon as you cash out the ok Brussels in a series of relief measures on which the government is to work for some time. And that is: voucher for users moving to the Internet over 100 megs, the intervention of the guarantee fund of the State for the financing of investments for the implementation of the plan, the tax credit for infrastructure projects. Tools that were to come at first in an ad hoc decree in recent weeks, the road later abandoned because it no longer viable, and that should be recovered if you will have time in the stability law or a bill at this point It will be launched no earlier than the beginning of next year (the resolution speaks of generic “legislative measures”). There will also be the establishment of a Committee for the ultra-wideband “that will coordinate the implementation – reads the resolution-and monitor the combination of these instruments in each of the cluster.”

The goal ambitious plan is to have by 2020 the subscription “by at least 50% of the population of services to more than 100 mega – warns the decision – through a more precise goal of coverage for ultrafast networks of over 100 mega up to 85% of the population “and with the added assurance also to” bring 100% of the population at least 30 mega. “

” This is the most important infrastructure for the next 20 years. In broadband we will be leading in Europe within three years, today we are the last in line, “he added at the conclusion of yesterday’s press conference the Prime Minister Renzi. Undersecretary for Communications Antonello Giacomelli ‘if individuals will do their part, as seems to understand the outcome of the consultation which was attended by thirty operators, the objectives of the ultra-wideband for all Italian citizens by 2020 are possible. ”

Yesterday, the CIPE has also decided to slip the green light to the National Research Plan 2014-2020 presented by the Ministry of Education resources and establishing strategies for innovation in the country for the coming years. The crux is that the use of resources of the Development Fund and Cohesion this will istituta soon a control room with the regions to overcome this barrier.
