500 euro bonus: AIRES, appeal to Antitrust and TAR?
AIRES: the 500 euro Bonus leaves retailers out
In short, consumers who want to benefit from the contribution will necessarily have to choose one of the offers proposed by operators (among others TIM, Vodafone and WINDTRE are coming), passing through their sales channels for the presentation of the application (the PDF form is already available).This is the dynamic that called into question by AIRES which invokes a rethinking of the Government regarding the methods of assigning the bonus asking for the suspension of the measure.
It should be noted that the sum will be recognized to Italian families (with ISEE less than 20,000 euros) and exclusively upon signing a new connectivity contract and that the supply of a PC or tablet is accessory. In other words, it is not an intervention aimed at encouraging the purchase of new hardware devices, but to promote the spread of ultra-broadband by countering the phenomenon of the digital divide that still afflicts an important part of the country and the population.
Following the AIRES intervention in which the intention to appeal was announced, dated 15 October, no further updates were disclosed. In the meantime, the process for the disbursement of bonuses is proceeding: the first vouchers should arrive by the end of the month. The site to keep an eye on is that of Infratel Italia which should soon include all the details relating to the individual offers.
