Italian Senate committee approves extension of telemarketing ban to telecom offers
By
Mila Fiordalisi
Summary
The Italian Senate's Finance Committee has approved an amendment to the Accise decree (fuel price decree) that extends the ban on aggressive telemarketing to telecommunications offers. The amendment, proposed by the Lega party, aims to close a regulatory loophole that previously allowed telemarketers to bypass restrictions by targeting telecom services. The article details the legislative process, the "bug" that created the loophole, and the next steps requiring approvals from AGCOM (communications authority) and the Privacy Guarantor before the measure becomes fully effective.

· 4 pulledSiamo a una svolta – o forse all'ennesimo capitolo – della guerra al telemarketing selvaggio.
La Commissione Finanze del Senato ha approvato un emendamento della Lega al decreto Accise (quello sul prezzo dei carburanti, per intenderci) che estende anche alle offerte legate alle telecomunicazioni.
Un adeguamento normativo che arriva dopo settimane di fuoco, ma che ha rischiato fino all'ultimo secondo di trasformarsi nell'ennesimo danno nei confronti dei cittadini.
Il 'bug' della discordia e la guerra asimmetrica
