Telecom Italia is the largest Italian telecommunications company, also active in the media and manufacturing industries. Now a private concern listed on the Borsa Italiana, it was founded in 1994 by the merger of several state-owned telecommunications companies, the most important of which was Società Italiana per l'Esercizio Telefonico p.A. (known as SIP from the earlier Società Idroelettrica Piemontese), the state monopoly telephone operator in Italy.

The company operates landline telephone services in Italy, GSM mobile phone services in Italy and Brazil through its TIM subsidiary, and DSL internet and telephony services under the brand Alice in Italy and San Marino. It also owns a stake in Telecom Argentina. Internationally, Telecom Italia is present in professional telecom services for other operators or corporations through TI Sparkle. Diversified, Telecom Italia also controls one of the main Italian television companies, Telecom Italia Media, and owns Olivetti, the manufacturer of computer peripherals and other hardware.

History[edit]

Telecom Italia
Geographical division of the 5 companies in 1925

The original core of Telecom Italia includes 5 different companies: Stipel, TIMO, Teti, TELVE and SET. Each of them worked in a specific geographical area, as decided in 1925 by the Mussolini Government. It was in 1964 that these companies merged in one single group, under the name of SIP.

Telecom Italia was officially created on 27 July 1994 by the merger of several telecommunication companies among which Sip, Iritel, Italcable, Telespazio and Sirm.This was due to a plan of riorganization of the telecommunication sector presented by IRI to the Minister of Treasury.

In 1995 the mobile telephony division was spun off into TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile). Interbusiness, Italy’s largest Internet network, was created and in the same period with TIN (Telecom Italia Net) and the first ISPs, Internet became a reality in Italy too.

In 1996 TIM was one of the first companies in the world which introduced a new prepaid rechargeable phone card (GSM) and one year later launched the short messaging service (SMS) capability.

In 1997, under the chairmanship of Guido Rossi, Telecom Italia was privatised and was transformed into a large multimedia group.

After the reorganization of editorial activities, in 2005 Telecom Italia acquired Tin.it and Virgilio from Telecom Italia Media, the multimedia company of the Group. Telecom Italia Media, born in 2003 from Seat Pagine Gialle, focused its business on television sector with La7 and MTV channels.

The Telecom Italia Group also operates in South America: in Brazil as TIM Brasil and in Argentina and Paraguay with Telecom Argentina Group.

Sustainability[edit]

In 2002 Telecom Italia subscribed to the United Nations corporate responsibility initiative Global Compact. The firm continues to promote a sustainability strategy including both environmental and social issues. The company is a member of a number of stock market indexes which include companies focused on corporate social responsibility, including the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes and those administered by FTSE Group's FTSE4Good. Its part-owned Brazilian subsidiary TIM Participações is listed in the Bovespa's ISE (Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial) index.

Open Access and other initiatives in 2008[edit]

In February 2008 Telecom Italia created "Open Access", a new feature to manage all development and maintenance activities of the technological infrastructure of the access network; the process of access services provision to the Telecom Italia customers and other operators; and the related technical assistance. All this for better efficiency, quality and equal treatment. Open Access has been the basis for the dialogue between Telecom Italia and the Authority for Communication Guarantees and it has been preceded by the recruitment of voluntary commitments, approved by the Authority in December 2008. These commitments, which see the central role played by Open Access and its new processes to develop the access network of Telecom Italia, are useful to reinforce the competitive environment. In 2008 was also set up the Telecom Italia Foundation, which promotes innovative ideas and projects aimed at improving the living conditions of people.
