Description

Italy, characterised by a low diffusion of effective digital connections, particularly in the most inland and peripheral areas, has brought forward this deadline to 2026 by committing EUR 6.71 billion from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and promoting the Italian Strategy for Ultra Broadband - Towards the Gigabit Society (BUL Strategy).

The interventions are aimed at accelerating investments in infrastructure, at the same time guaranteeing connectivity to school buildings and public health facilities and stimulating the demand of businesses and families, through the diffusion of innovative services.
