The rest is held by the market with a large list of Italian and foreign groups.
Tim is, in turn, the majority shareholder of FiberCop, the company that manages the secondary network, the one that connects the lockers on the street with homes and offices, and which is also one of the companies that is building the fiber optic network for high-speed data transmission.
