In an article in Politico on Wednesday, Nick Read<\/a> said Rome was looking to recreate the fixed-line monopoly that previous Italian governments and EU institutions had dismantled.
\"This would leave would-be fixed broadband providers with only one seller of wholesale access to the combined network - yet again Telecom Italia (TIM),\" he said.
Last month TIM and state lender CDP agreed to create a national ultrafast grid operator combining the former phone monopoly's network assets with those of smaller rival Open Fiber.
Such an operator could be majority-owned by TIM but its independence and third-party status would be guaranteed by a shared governance mechanism with CDP, which would emerge as a major shareholder in the venture, open to other players.
Vodafone<\/a> offers mobile and fixed-line services in Italy, and is one of Open Fiber's biggest commercial clients.
The Italian government sees the single broadband network as a strategic priority to help Italy close a yawning technological gap with other countries and boost its stagnant economy by increasing digitalisation.
Read said it had only been with the creation of Open Fiber a few years ago that Italy had started to modernise its fixed networks, providing more comparable high-speed services to those of other EU member countries.
\"Reverting to a failed monopoly model cannot possibly be good for either competition or investment. It also contravenes four decades of anti-monopolistic policy and EU law,\" he said.
TIM and CDP declined to comment.

沃达丰首席执行官警告意大利单宽带网络可以退一步:报告
沃达丰集团的负责人说,意大利的计划创建一个单一的高速宽带网络,意大利电信持有多数股权可能是一个倒退,因为它有效地达到国有化和re-monopolisation。
读到
周三在政治报的一篇文章中,尼克读说罗马是寻求重建固定垄断,以前的意大利政府和欧盟机构已经拆除。
“这将使准固定宽带供应商只有一个卖家批发再次访问网络相结合——意大利电信(TIM),”他说。
上个月蒂姆和国有银行CDP同意建立一个全国超速的电网运营商结合前电话垄断与规模较小的竞争对手开放的网络资产纤维。
这样一个操作符可以控股的蒂姆,但其独立性和第三方的地位将保证CDP的共同治理机制,这将成为合资企业的主要股东,对其他玩家开放。
沃达丰(Vodafone)提供移动和固话服务在意大利,是开放纤维最大的商业客户之一。
意大利政府看到了单宽带网络作为战略重点,帮助意大利密切与其他国家巨大的技术差距和提高其通过增加数字化经济停滞。
读表示,只有在创建开放纤维几年前,意大利已经开始现代化其固定网络,提供更多类似的高速服务的其他欧盟成员国。
“恢复失败的垄断模式不可能有利于竞争或投资。它也违背四十年anti-monopolistic政策和欧盟法律,”他说。
蒂姆和CDP拒绝置评。
