SGAn Italian court has dismissed a precautionary appeal by Telecom Italia (TIM) against FiberCop, a KKR-backed company it sold its fixed-line network to in 2024. The dispute revolves around the terms of the Master Service Agreement (MSA), which governs TIM's access to the network. TIM requested the court to order FiberCop to disclose the economic conditions of the agreement to the telecoms regulator AGCOM. The court rejected this request, stating that TIM's interpretation of the MSA was not supported by the contract and that the pricing terms did not apply in areas regulated by AGCOM. FiberCop welcomed the ruling, noting it validated their approach after they revised their pricing framework following AGCOM's classification of them as a wholesale-only operator. The new pricing structure, effective September 16, could increase TIM's annual costs significantly.
