WIND (Italy)

WIND (Italy)

Wind or Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA was established in 1997 and is an Italian telecom operator which offers integrated fixed, mobile and Internet services.

It is best known for being one of the four mobile phone companies which operates in Italy (the other three are TIM, Vodafone and 3).

In the past Wind was owned by the Italian Electrical Company Enel SPA, which sold Wind in 2005 to Orascom Telecom Holding.

Wind was the third mobile operator to join the italian market (after TIM and Vodafone Italy), that's why it has (as of today) more 1800 channels than 900, that has been assigned before to TIM and Vodafone Italy.

Wind currently runs a GSM (900/1800/E900), GPRS, EDGE, UMTS (videocall and mobile broadband) and HSDPA network. While the GSM/GPRS network is available almost everywhere, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA are available in most cities, but they're still expanding, especially in the countryside.

WIND Telecomunicazioni SpA has a sister network in Greece, WIND Hellas.

WIND is exclusive provider for Italy of i-mode.
