DAVOS, Switzerland - A single telecoms network in Italy would be a more efficient solution and as such the government could be expected to favour it, Economy Minister Giovanni Tria told Reuters on Wednesday.
Tria added however it was a matter for private companies to decide.
Open Fiber, owned by state-controlled utility Enel and state lender CDP, has been rolling out a fibre optic network in direct competition with Italy's biggest phone group Telecom Italia.
