Italian govt. is likely introduce new taxes on energy and telecom networks next year. The report I read (Il Sole 24 Ore) suggests that they are going to deal with some of the massive budget deficit by raising an extra 700-800 million eur by introducing the taxes on the networks of energy and telecommunications companies in 2006.
The service providers that these taxes will likely affect are [B]Eni SpA, Snam Rete Gas SpA, Enel SpA, Terna SpA[/B] and telecommunications companies like [B]Telecom Italia SpA [/B]. So expect to see bills rise once its ratified by the Italian parliament.
Mind you its no better in the UK - big rises in the pipeline here too. :(

the telegiornale last night laconically referred that we should expect rises in the prices of GAS and ELECTRICITY of between 3.0% and 4.8% starting from the 1st October2005, at this point all the aeliolic/thermal pump/solar panel/pellet people can feel free to "go to town"on their projects as now it may prove to be worth while despite the initial outlay....no idea about telecom neither do i care a lot (always been a band of rip off artists).....
