12 August 2020A single, multi-technological network, open and separate from end customers. This is the proposal that Beppe Grillo launches in a long post dedicated to digital on his blog.

"Now, only now, we have the opportunity to make courageous choices, supporting Italy's digital development with an industrial and long-term vision. In fact, digital infrastructures and skills are an essential element to make our country competitive on the markets. and development generator. Digital development now depends on us: it is the right time to make a business plan, not a financial plan ", he says.

Tim back to communication technologies
The former Guarantor and co-founder of the 5-star Movement, in a video message on his blog, supports the project of a single digital network "The time has now come for Tim to reverse the course of the past, developing a greater focus on technological activities , also through the separation of these activities from the rest of the company perimeter. In particular, it is essential that Tim returns to being a reality that invests heavily and in an integrated manner in communication technologies, both current (such as optical fiber) and prospective (such as 5G for example), also jointly with the other operators in the sector in a finally systemic key ".

Separating services from infrastructures 
"It is desirable that the project to create a single society of networks and technologies is carried out under the guidance and guidance of public institutions with a patient perspective, which are able to guarantee security, stability and development in the long term ", explains the guarantor of the M5S, according to whom" to carry out this ambitious project we must think of separating the company in two, keeping the current staff unchanged. We must divide the services from the infrastructures, finally creating two separate companies ", he says Grillo again in another passage. 

Cdp would bring stability and investments
"The single company of infrastructures and technologies should have as its main shareholder a subject capable of guaranteeing the independence of the network from its users, as well as a very long-term investment horizon. This result - insists Grillo - could be obtained by replicating the successful model of the important companies that manage the country's energy infrastructures, in which Cassa Depositi e Prestiti represents the reference shareholder in a widespread shareholder context. The presence of an Institution such as Cassa Depositi e Prestiti would be, in fact, synonymous with stability in the shareholding structure and guarantee of massive investments for the development of the country's digital infrastructure ", concludes Grillo.
