The Italian Competition and Markets Authority announced in a press release on July 17, that French telecomms service provider, Iliad, is clear to begin operations in Italy through a local subsidiary that bought assets divested by Wind TreS.p.A.

The Authority has ruled that the purchase of assets by Iliad is technically a merger, but that because the expected yearly revenue generated by the combined assets is less than €1 million (US$1.16 million) it does not meet requirements for a prior notification.
The company’s national debut is expected by the end of the year, although official dates are still unreleased.
