Poste Italiane to become MVNO (mobile virtual network operator)

Posted by | Mar 26, 2007 | |

The Italian Post Office (Poste Italiane) announced today its plan to become a mobile virtual network operator.

Thanks to its network of more than 14.000 shops, the post office can easily reach every Italian citizen at ‘walking distance’ to sell its services. Being the market leader in payment service, it also plans to offer a whole range of mobile-based payment services.

Poste Italiane’s managing director Massimo Sarmi said negotiations with MNOs are still going on and he gave no precise timeframe about the initial availability of the service.

Sarmi also said the company hopes to reach 2 m mobile customers by 2011.

Global-Z releases Italian address-correction data-processing service

Posted by | Mar 21, 2007 | |

Global-Z International, a bureau specializing in the data processing of international mailing addresses for global direct marketers, has enhanced its Italy data-processing service — including the most current Italian postal codes — after the Italian postal authority, Poste Italiane, changed its postal code system.

Bennington, VT-based Global-Z said its Italy data-processing service is designed to help mailers update their Italian address files.

As many global postal authorities have done, Poste Italiane is enhancing its old postal-code system in pursuit of efficiency improvements. With this enhancement, which will continue through the year, the old Italy postal codes will not be available on Poste Italiane’s legacy processing and necessitate the manual processing of this mail. This postal-code update will benefit mailers using Poste Italiane with greater precision and speed delivering mail with updated postal codes.

Global-Z said that with the new postal-code system in place, mail with old, wrong or insufficient addresses would be processed as mail that has a non-existent address. As a result, the updated postal codes help assure delivery. This update includes Italian regions, provinces, municipalities and 8,500 neighborhoods, including all the streets of the 27 largest towns.
