Swisscom Acquires, Vodafone Italy, Launches Fastweb + Vodafone

The strategic vision of Fastweb + Vodafone aims to create value by continuing to invest in fixed and mobile infrastructures.

Following the closing of the acquisition of Vodafone Italia by the Swisscom Group on 31 December 2024, the integration process between Fastweb and Vodafone began, for the creation of a leading convergent operator in Italy.

Fastweb + Vodafone – as stated in a note – will generate high value for all stakeholders and, thanks to economies of scale, a more efficient cost structure and synergies of approximately 600 million euros per year at full capacity, made possible by the integration, will have the financial capacity to continue investing in infrastructure and innovation, for the benefit of the market, consumers and businesses in Italy.

The combination of Fastweb‘s strengths in fixed connectivity with Vodafone Italia’s leadership in mobile services will allow Fastweb + Vodafone to offer innovative convergent services at competitive prices for families, businesses and Public Administrations, and to become the point of reference for the digital transition of all customers.

With over 20 million mobile lines and 5,6 million fixed lines, Fastweb + Vodafone becomes the main infrastructure operator on the national telecommunications market, being able to count on more than 20.000 mobile sites and a proprietary fixed network of over 74.000 km capable of ensuring national mobile and fixed coverage.

The strategic vision of Fastweb + Vodafone aims to create value by continuing to invest in fixed and mobile infrastructures, pursuing continuous technological innovation and guaranteeing the best quality of service and customer experience, without losing sight of attention to environmental and social impact.

With the official closing of the operation, the integration process between Fastweb and Vodafone Italia begins. The two companies will be managed by a single Executive Committee and will refer to the corporate brand Fastweb + Vodafone; the brands currently in use, i.e. Fastweb, Vodafone and ho. will continue to be used commercially.
