December 2005


December 2005
Restructuring of Internet activities

The plan, approved on April 4th 2005, consists of a series of operations, in all meant to:

  • concentrate all the Group's Internet assets that are absorbed by Telecom Italia through the cash acquisition of Virgilio and Tin.it;
  • allow Telecom Italia Media to obtain sufficient financial resources from the sale both to buy back own shares and to make new investments in its media business, thus reinforcing the recognized position it already enjoys in the television market - with La7 and MTV - and taking advantage of the attractive growth prospects in digital terrestrial television;
  • encourage Telecom Italia Media to streamline its operating and corporate structure through the merger by incorporation of La7 Televisioni, which is currently wholly-held by HMC S.p.A., in its turn being a wholly-owned subsidiary of TI Media.
