Wind Tre S.p.A.[2] is an Italian telecom operator which offers integrated mobile, fixed telephony and Internet services. It was initially formed in 2016 as a joint venture of VEON and CK Hutchison Holdings by the merger of their subsidiaries Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A and H3G S.p.A, respectively. VEON sold its 50% stake in Wind Tre to Hutchison for €2.45 billion in 2018.[3]
Wind Tre has 27.1 million mobile customers with a market share of 30.8% (placing itself ahead TIM, Vodafone Italia and Iliad Italia) and 2.7 million customers on fixed lines with a market share of 13.2% (that makes it the second largest fixed line operator, behind TIM).[4]
History[edit]
In 2016 Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. and H3G S.p.A. agreed to complete a merger in order to create a single new company named "Wind Tre".[5] The merger was approved by European and national authorities.[6] Since March 2020, all consumer and business offers are sold under the new brand Wind Tre.[7][8]
