    2. The communications sector in Italy 2. The communications sector in Italy 2.1. Telecommunications In a picture of progressive deterioration of the macroeconomic situation, the trend of contraction of the telecommunications market, on both fixed and mobile network, already observed for some years, was confirmed in 2011. In this context, the elements which best qualify the Italian telecommunications market, show no substantial change in 2011 compared to the last two years. These elements can be summed up as follows: i) the expenditure of families and companies in telecommunications services continues to fall, with a slight acceleration compared to 2010; ii) the reduction in the prices of telecommunications services to both private and business customers, on both fixed and mobile networks, is constant; iii) the contraction in voice calls on dial-up network continues, with a reduction of 11.7% in the number of minutes consumed, while voice traffic from the mobile network has increased by another 10% in the last year; iv) the spread of broadband services on fixed and mobile network has produced further growth in income deriving from data services; v) there is still growth, but with indications of the saturation of the relative market, in the virtual mobile telephony compartment; vi) with regard to the competitive situation, the erosion of Telecom Italia's total market share continues; vii) in last autumn, an auction was held for the assigning of the usage rights of the frequencies in the 800, 1,800, 2,000 and 2,600 MHz bands, which led to a total commitment of the mobile operators for € 3.9 billion; viii) on the other hand, the reduction in investments in infrastructures is confirmed;9 ix) The gross profit of the sector is substantially stable, also thanks to the continuous restructuring and cost containment actions carried out by the telecommunications companies.

The nature of sound As a matter of facts, Italian population density, at 197 inhabitants per square kilometre (ISTAT Report, 2013), depends on wind turbine design. Propagation of the sound is primarily a function of distance, but it can also be is higher than that of most Western European countries. However, the distribution of the population is widely affected by turbine placement, surrounding terrain, and atmospheric conditions. uneven. The most densely populated areas are the Po Valley (that accounts for almost a half of the national In Italy, unlike other European countries, we don’t have specific legislation about windmills sound population) and the metropolitan areas of Rome and Naples, while vast regions such as the Alps and measurement and noise limits from Law no.447 are not functional for noise verifical for wind farms.

Highlights • On 4 January 2011, OTH sold its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holding and Carthage Consortium through which OTH owned 50% of Orascom Telecom Tunisia (“OTT”). As a result the proportionate consolidation of OTT during Q4 is no longer applicable under IFRS as it renders the entity an investment held for sale, and consequently a discontinued operation under IFRS rules. Figures for 2009 and 9M 2010 have been restated to reflect the accounting treatment of OTT. • Total subscribers exceeded 101 million, an increase of 16% over the same period last year. • Net Income before minority interest showed a sharp increase of 106% compared to the same period last year, reaching US$ 781 million1 for the period ending December 31st, 2010, mainly due to the gain recognized on the Mobinil transaction by comparing the carrying amount of the investments in Mobinil and ECMS to the relevant fair value, taking into consideration the net proceeds from the transaction for the global settlement fee amounting to US$300 million. • Revenues reached US$ 3,825 million1, increasing by 2% over the previous year as a result of strong growth in all GSM operations, with the exception of Algeria.

An agreement was reached with Orascom worth US$25 million was finalized in secret. The pact has been kept secret for legal reasons, considering financial fallout and because of the feud. The main reason for the undercover dealing was the joint venture agreement between the Bangladeshi and the Malaysian partners, which dictates that if any party sells its Sheba shares, the other party will enjoy the first right to buy that.
