@pluralistic Reading your book, I thought that: #KKR has acquired Telecom Italia's (TIM) Italian landline network for $22 billion. The newly established company, #FiberCop, is in the process of constructing a fiber optic network, supported by $1.85 billion in funding from the Italian government and the European Union's National Recovery and Resilience Plan ( #RRF). The Italian government, led by "sovereigntists" politicians, has essentially handed over this crucial infrastructure to a foreign company.
