Various new items regarded plans for in-mobility navigation: in addition to data services in bundle with the more
advanced smartphones and tablets, operators updated their offer by increasing traffic volumes included in the plans.
In addition, discounts for new customers arriving from another operator continued. As far as the product portfolio is
concerned, operators concentrated their attention on navigation devices: they promoted latest generation tablets,
top of the list being Samsung and Apple, and proposed 3G internet keys and routers for navigating at up to 42.2
Mbps, also as a replacement for ADSL for the home or the office.
The internet offer was enriched by the Ultrabroadband
service: it is calculated that by March the coverage of the fiber services (FttC and FttH modality) of Telecom Italia

and Fastweb had reached 2.4 million residential units in 31 cities, to which should be added the coverage of the
Metroweb network in Milan.
Excluding MVNOs, at March 31, 2013 WIND had an estimated market share of 23.8%, while Telecom Italia and
Vodafone had shares of 34.4% and 31.6% and H3G 10.2%.
NETWORK
WIND has developed an integrated network infrastructure providing high-capacity transmission capabilities and
extensive coverage throughout Italy. As of March 31, 2013, WIND mobile network covered 99.83% of the Italian
population while WIND UMTS/HSPA network covered 95.39% of the Italian population.
WIND 21/5.8 Mbps HSPA service covered approximately 73.7% of the Italian population, for remaining population
WIND offers 7.2/1.4 Mbps service.
Fixed-line networks are supported by 21,640 kilometers of fiber optic cable backbone in Italy and 4,736 kilometers of
fiber optic cable MANs as of March 31, 2013. The network uses a common system platform, WIND ‘‘intelligent
network,’’ for both mobile and fixed-line networks. Network platform has been upgraded to provide it with a uniform
IP network platform, which provides additional capacity. The integrated nature of operations allows to offer
subscribers mobile, fixed-line and Internet product bundles and VAS. WIND has also approximately 469 roaming
agreements with other Italian and international telecommunications operators around the world.
Fixed-Line Network
WIND fixed-line network consists of an extensive fiber optic transport network with over 21,640 kilometers of

major cities in Italy, a radio transmission network with approximately 15,803 radio links in operation. The national
voice switching network consists of a NGN/IMS network composed by 4 Call control nodes 4 Media Gateway
Controller and 42 Trunking Gateway. The national network is supported by NGN (Next Generation Network)
dedicated to interconnection with international operator composed by 2 Media Gateway Controller and 8 Trunking
Gateway. WIND is able to handle all the traffic on proprietary
backbone infrastructure, with little need to rent additional capacity
from third parties.
As of March 31, 2013 WIND has 1,457 LLU sites for direct
