is not easy to summarize in a few words the history of telecommunications in Italy, but without this backgruound you can not understand why the development of network and content. The legislation on telecommunications in this country has always been confusing, despite the liberalization of the Italian health infrastructure is not good.
Italy is still lagging behind slightly in the rest of Europe and fails to learn lessons from other European nations. For too many years the Italian governments have clashed on the maintenance of the television duopoly, not bothering to legislate in favor of new infrastructure and businesses that could finally unlock the dinosaurs Italian television.
There is talk of digital terrestrial TV because for too long has ignored the importance of the wiring of the country as a real alternative and effective means of transmitting data and television content. Why today in Italy we do not have a network powerful enough to allow (at all) without any problems viewing video content seamlessly? There are no infrastructure.
Telecom in the 90's tried to be wired with fiber optics all the country with the "Socrates", but has done it, ADSL will also work with the old copper cables so why get your fiber?
In fact, the digital divide is a common problem and remains a problem even if there are anti digital divide projects. In short, many individuals still have too little bandwidth while the contents are now hd video, thus requiring more bandwidth to download it faster, or be seen in streaming. Of course, the compressions are always better, but not enough.
Today I read an article on "The Republic" that says that soon it will come to have a connection to all of 100 megs. Well, a good reason to continue producing high-quality video content (not just mean high-resolution) to be circulated through behind this increase in bandwidth the corner.
