TeleTu S.p.A. (formerly Tele2 Italia S.p.A., then Opitel S.p.A.) was an Italian telecommunications company that provided fixed telephony services.[1][2]
Founded in 1999 by Tele2, in 2007 it was sold to Vodafone,[1] which incorporated it in 2012,[3] starting a process of divesting the brand, completed in 2015.[4]
History[edit]
In April 1999 Tele2 AB founded its Italian branch, Tele2 Italia S.p.A.[citation needed]
On 6 October 2007, as also happened in Spain, it was acquired by Vodafone Omnitel N.V.[5][1] This operation is completed in December. The company thus changed its name to Opitel S.p.A., temporarily maintaining the "Tele2" brand.
No longer being linked to Tele2 AB, from 1 January 2010 the operator's brand name was changed, which thus became "TeleTu".[6] On January 4, the company name was also changed to TeleTu S.p.A.
On 1 October 2012 TeleTu S.p.A., following the merger by incorporation with Vodafone Omnitel N.V.,[3] began selling its products under the "Vodafone" brand. From 1 April 2015 the "TeleTu" brand was officially abandoned in favor of that of the parent company and all those who were its customers automatically switched to Vodafone.[4]
