Under new policies and initiatives from its Ministry of Communications, Italy is turning to Wi-Fi and WiMAX to make broadband Internet access more universally available throughout the country. Marconi and Airspan announced that they will be providing WiMAX connectivity in three locations in Italy's Piedmont and Sicily regions. Siemens AG also announced they would start trials in Valle d'Aosta, a region in North Italy and that these would later extend to Abruzzo, Piemonte, and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. By utilizing both Wi-Fi and WiMAX to augment existing DSL, the Italian Communications Ministry hopes to make high speed Internet access rapidly available throughout the country.
