Telecom Italia has presented new convergent solutions to increase landline and mobile broadband penetration. The company is rolling out Alice Casa, a new totally IP residential landline package that has no fixed line rental fees, while offering unlimited calls to landlines in Italy, unlimited websurfing time, and access to Alice Home TV. Subscriptions start at €42 per month.
Alice Casa includes home delivery and installation by technicians of the Alice Home TV decoder and WiFi modem. Customers who activate the service by December 31, 2008 can take advantage of an exclusive promotion: access to SKY su Misura, including News and one of two options among entertainment, documentaries, music and kKids, via Alice Home TV, until January 2010, at €7 per month rather than the normal price of €15.
Telecom Italia also added Facebook and Bebo to its mobile phone subscribers. The new Shozu application makes it possible to upload high resolution photos and video with just one click to these social communities.
