Retelit signs preliminary agreement to acquire BT Italian domestic operations

Retelit, a leading telecommunications company in Italy exclusively focused on the B2B market, has entered into a preliminary agreement with BT Italia to acquire the B2B domestic business and Italian assets, which generated revenues of about €160M in Italy in 2024.

This agreement will significantly enhance Retelit's fiber optic network by an additional 11,500 km, resulting in a total network span exceeding 47,000 Km. It will also expand Retelit's national data center infrastructure by an additional 10 MW of power capacity. This expansion will further strengthen Retelit's coverage of the Italian corporate market, providing a more comprehensive suite of ICT infrastructure and services to support the innovation and the digital transformation of Italian enterprises.

The over 360 existing domestic business clients of BT in Italy transitioning to Retelit will benefit from a dynamic, B2B-focused organization that consistently invests in its assets, technology platforms, expertise, and service quality. Retelit possesses a proprietary infrastructure platform integrating network, data centers, and cloud capabilities, which currently stands as one of the most complete in Italy.
The agreement is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
