Goals / Remit
Open Fiber, a wholesale-only operator on the Italian electronic communications infrastructure market, was founded to develop an ultra broadband (UBB) network consisting entirely of optical fiber (FTTH, Fiber To The Home, which is unparalleled in guaranteeing ultra-fast connections with extremely high levels of efficiency and reliability) in all Italian regions, in line with the most recent EU connectivity targets.
Open Fiber boasts the most extensive Italian FTTH network with Gigabit connection speeds. As an infrastructure operator, we are involved in the development, management and maintenance of the network.
We have chosen a “wholesale-only” business model to guarantee access to all interested operators, under the same conditions, and to provide users with a wide array of choice.Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
10 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
