| Article abstract: |
| Obvious cultural affinities, the presence of well-established Italian communities and the business opportunities stemming from privatization and liberalization make Latin America one of the key areas for Stet's internationalisation process. In addition to sales operations conducted by several companies in the group including Italtel, Finsiel and Nuova Telespazio, Stet has acquired either directly or through its subsidiaries majority or minority interests in a number of Latin American companies. |

| Article abstract: |
| When, in April 1990, I first proposed to the Cabinet that the telephone company should be privatised and the telecommunications sector opened up to competition, the idea was received with scepticism by the ministers and the President. Iconoclastic. Unrealisable. Not politically viable. They just could not understand that Venezuela had no alternative in the face of the changes which were about to occur in the world but to transfer the responsibility for the development of telecommunications (and many other public services) to private investors and to denationalise a sector which for many years had been limited by the inability of the public sector to develop the communications network effectively and with vision. |

| Article abstract: |
| The advancement of wireless telecommunications is the greatest development in modern society. It not only bridges the gap between people, but it also bridges the gap between nations. With the convergence of wireless telecommunications, computers, broadcasting, cable television and the information networks of the internet, the global village has become a neighbourhood where people can communicate as if they are right next door. Services from PCS to paging, specialized mobile radio (SMA) to cellular, and Satellite to mobile data are combining to create a seamless universe of personal communication linking businesses, families and people. The various regions that make up the Latin American community are exploding in this arena of technology and communication. This growth is a clear result of such factors as increased competition, the emergence of news systems, and privatization and liberalization of the telecommunications sectors. |
