Article Abstract:

Olivetti's chief executive, Roberto Colannino, faces high expectations of his role at Telecom Italia, which Olivetti has acquired. The banks that put up funds for the acquisition will also impose repayments that mean that boosting profits and cutting costs will be urgent. Over 30,000 jobs may have to be shed, according to analysts, and Telecom Italia has a wide range of foreign investments. The company has to develop a strategy in the changing telecoms market, as well as cut costs. Telecom Italia could be sold by Olivetti to a foreign concern.

A bright idea

Article Abstract:

Solitons are a type of self-sustaining wave which can be used for data transmission purposes, an application that is still in the research stage. There are plans to change this with the setting up of Algety Telecom by former France Telecom researchers. The researchers aim to combine solitons and wave division multiplexing. There are applications for long-distance telecoms. Prototypes of the company's new equipment are scheduled for delivery to major communications concerns in early 2000.
