FASTWEB is among Europe’s key providers of next generation telecommunications networks and services, which provide a complete alternative to those of traditional telephone networks. The company has gained competitive advantage over other telecommunications companies by utilizing breakthrough technology to deliver integrated voice, data, and video through packet-switching, utilizing its fiber-optic and xDSL network solution.
