Italy's post office aims to have 2 mln mobile phone clients within 3 years

Posted by | Nov 27, 2007 | |

Poste Italiane SpA, the company that runs Italy’s post offices, aims to have 2 mln clients and 500 mln eur in revenues within three years through its PosteMobile virtual mobile operator, daily La Stampa cited CEO Massimo Sarmi as saying.

PosteMobile, which will rent the telecommunications network from Vodafone, offers its clients a series of services including using their mobile phones to transfer money, check the balance on their checking account or pay bills.

‘The investments are significant but we have some advantages: we don’t have to build a network and for payments we have a platform that handles 10 mln electronic cards,’ Sarmi said, according to the daily.

Sarmi believes his target is ‘reasonable’ despite the saturation of the mobile phone market for these reasons.

According to Poste Italiane, the Italian post office is the first postal group worldwide to join the telephone services sector.

– The University of Perugia/CIRIAF
– Legambiente
– Ducati Energia
– The University of Rousse (Bulgaria)

The programme, which is aimed at testing an electric and hybrid vehicle (the “Free Duck” Quadricycle), will be implemented during 30 months and consists in providing mail delivery service in the historical centre of the city of Perugia by means of 57 quadricycles (produced by “Ducati Energia”) with electric and hybrid traction as an alternative to the classic motorcycles currently used by postmen in Europe.

Similar initiatives are also to be developed in Brussels as well as in the historical center of Szentendre, Hungary, and PostEurop (Mr Antonino Scribellito, Project Manager) will be in charge of extending the initiative to other European operators.

Energy and environmental performances will be monitored in cooperation with the University of Perugia/CIRIAF in order to develop models aimed at the reduction of air and acoustic pollution in other urban areas.

The Universities involved (University of Perugia and University of Rousse) will share the results of the initiative which will be communicated at EU level during a final event organized under the umbrella of the European Agency.
