MILAN, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Vodafone, Comcast unit SKY
and WindTre said on Friday it was crucial that any
single broadband network company in Italy be independent with
the proper governance rules.
The comments came in a joint statement following a
conference call between their top managers in Italy, the
Treasury and Industry ministers and the head of state lender
CDP.
On Thursday top members of the ruling coalition signed off
on a single broadband network proposal designed to resolve
months of wrangling over who would control such an asset.
Concern has been expressed by some operators about former
phone monopolist Telecom Italia ending up with too
much sway over a single network.
