The State Secretariat for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures submits to all interested parties (Operators, Public Administrations, National Commission for Markets and Competition and other agents) the results of the detailed study of the coverage of existing broadband networks or with credible plans for their provision in the next three years, which is specified in the preliminary identification of three types of zones characterized as a function of the maximum reliable descent speed per user (in loaded time conditions):
- No network capable of providing speeds of at least 30 Mbps
- Only one network capable of providing speeds between 30 and 100 Mbps
- Only one network capable of providing speeds between 100 and 300 Mbps
The objective of the consultation is to consolidate this preliminary identification in order to obtain the definitive map of the areas in which, according to the State aid regulations, it is possible to grant public aid during the next twelve months for the realization of projects of extension of the coverage of ultra-fast broadband networks to connect homes and socio-economic engines.
To facilitate the location and analysis of the zones, files of geographical layers are provided in shape and filegdb format that make possible their treatment any georeferenced information system (GIS). Likewise, a cartographic viewer is available in the following link.
