Italian carriers offer up variety of iPhone plans

Bellissimo! More iPhone carrier news for our international friends. Two carriers have released information about the iPhone plans they’ll be offering in Italy starting Friday.

Italy was the first country to announce multiple carriers for the iPhone—in this case, both Telecom Italia and Vodafone. Up until that point, Apple had exclusively operated using, well, exclusive contracts with mobile phone operators. Now, of course, the whole game is changed: there are almost ten countries with multiple carriers, though most of us remain stuck with just a single option. Perhaps one day the rest of us will be able to benefit from the joy of multiple carriers.

That would seem to be to the benefit of Italians. With two separate carriers and eight plans between them ( five from Telecom Italia and three from Vodafone, Italian iPhone customers would seem to have unprecedented choice in the iPhone arena. Seems like there may be something for everyone. “Molto bene!” as the Doctor might say.
