Italtel Group: Board of Directors Approves 2010 Financial Statements

Growth of Revenues and Margins. Steady Improvement of International Sales, now Representing one Third of Total Revenues. On the Italian market, Growth of Large Enterprises and Public Sector. Further Improvement in net Financial Debt.

MILAN, March 21, 2011 - The Board of Directors of Italtel, under the chairmanship of
Umberto de Julio, has approved the draft financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2010.

The Italtel consolidated financial statements, prepared in
compliance with IFRS, report revenues of EUR422 million for the year, up 3.9%
on the EUR406 million recorded in 2009.

EBITDA amounts to EUR50.5 million, equal to 12% of revenues (in
2009 it was EUR35.7 million corresponding to 8.8% of sales).

Net Group financial debt improved significantly, decreasing to
EUR230.2 million from EUR269.9 million in 2009, also due to the 70 million
euro capital increase supported by Telecom Italia and Cisco in September
2010.

In 2010 Italtel continued with the strategy focused on the
diversification of the Group's customer base. Revenues from sales in foreign
markets totalled EUR140 million, up 20.5% compared to 2009, driven by strong
growth in Latin America, in particular Brazil and Argentina, as well as in
emerging countries in North Africa and the Middle East.

On the Italian market, revenues from Large Enterprises and Public
Sector grew 7.3% compared to 2009. Revenues from Telecom Operators remained
substantially stable.

"2010 was a intense and difficult year, which saw Italtel
involved on many different fronts - said Umberto de Julio, Chairman of
Italtel. Despite a strongly competitive context, we managed to defend our
market positions, created new business opportunities, enhanced our offer of
products and services and worked to reduce costs. We made important steps
forward in our strategy to diversify the customer base. The economical,
financial and patrimonial results obtained fully confirm the targets of our
plan and urge us to continue moving forward along the development process we
outlined".

In 2010 Italtel confirmed its positioning among the leaders of
EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) for NGN innovative solutions. In
particular, according to Infonetics Research "Service Provider VoIP Equipment
