Infostrada S.p.A.
 PROFILE
Tossed around like pizza dough, Infostrada, Italy's leading alternative fixed-line telecommunications provider and ISP, has landed in new hands again. The company is a subsidiary of Italian electric utility Enel, which plans to combine Infostrada with its Wind mobile telecom services unit. Competing against former monopoly Telecom Italia, Infostrada is quickly gaining market share: It boasts 3.8 million business and residential voice customers and 5 million Internet customers (through Italia On-Line and Libero). Enel bought Infostrada from UK mobile phone giant Vodafone in 2001. Vodafone had gained control of Infostrada in 2000 when it bought Germany's Mannesmann, which acquired Infostrada from Olivetti in 1999.
