No unnecessary duplication of cables, each condominium in the future will have only one fiber optic connection. The Council of the Authority for Communications Guarantees, yesterday, approved the guidelines on access to real estate units in condominiums for the construction of fiber optic networks.
Rules aimed at simplifying authorizations and favoring the widespread diffusion of fiber optic cabling in the country. And among the new indications, the Authority “recommends avoiding” “the useless duplication of the fiber optic network of the building”.

Obviously, to achieve this objective, the guarantor invites “operators to use the infrastructure already built” and obliges them to “make the infrastructure – acquired by the condominium or built on their own – available to other operators who request it”. In short, a sort of single condominium network with access to the services of the various operators.
The operators are waiting to be able to analyze the final version of the Guidelines for how they came out of the Agcom Council, even if there is a fear of measures that are a little too mild to address a problem, that of access to fiber in condominiums, which is anything but banal.
In this context, the indications of Agcom detail “the conduct to be followed when requesting access to the property and to the existing physical infrastructures to facilitate the interaction between the operator and the condominium, dictating certain times”. Indications adopted by the guarantor looking at the “strategic objectives of connectivity and digital transformation indicated by the European Commission” which aim to simplify times and interventions and costs for the community. The new band must in fact be connected after «the formulation of alternative and reasonable proposals for the laying of cables, including the use of existing laying infrastructures, where useful to reduce interventions on the building and avoid unnecessary duplication».
