A government official was quoted as saying that Italy is preparing to test Musk's Starlink satellites to provide internet connectivity services in some remote areas of the country. Deputy Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, Alessio Butti, said he is working with Starlink and other participants to evaluate the possibility of supplementing existing infrastructure with satellites in some parts of the north, center and south of the country. Italy is implementing a broader plan as part of the EU's post-pandemic recovery plan to ensure that Italian homes and businesses can use a fixed network with at least 1GB per second by 2026.
