PRESS RELEASE




TELECOM ITALIA: COMMITMENTS PROPOSAL APPROVED BY BOARD AND SUBMITTED TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY, AIMED AT IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SERVICES OFFERED TO END USERS AND OTHER OPERATORS



Rome, 19 June 2008


The Board of Directors of Telecom Italia, chaired by Gabriele Galateri di Genola, today approved a proposal of commitments to be presented to the Telecommunications Authority which have as their goal the development of the access market through concrete measures for a more effective equality of internal-external treatment and complete transparency towards the wholesale market regarding the quality and evolution of Telecom Italia’s access network.


This initiative follows the adoption by Telecom Italia of a new organizational model which gathers together, in the Open Access division, all the activities of access network development and management with the aim of increasing efficiency, improving quality, developing innovation, and guaranteeing transparency


In particular, these commitments entail: the institution of a new process of activation for wholesale customer services and management to guarantee complete and verifiable equality of treatment; training of Open Access personnel in new processes and the introduction of an incentives’ system with goals linked to the quality of the network, services and end user satisfaction; constant monitoring of the production processes of the supply of services; transparency of information regarding the quality and the development of the access network; the creation of a new Body with the task of verifying the observance of the commitments.


Telecom Italia has also proposed specific commitments aimed at eliminating the consequences of certain behaviours which had been signalled by the Authority in a number of sanctions proceedings.


The proposal of commitments approved by the Board was submitted to the Telecommunications Authority this evening.


Telecom Italia believes that this important step is the beginning of a new regulatory season for the access network which will be more open to free market initiatives, to investment and innovation in services and offers, and will launch a virtuous process aimed at reducing the scope of present regulatory obligations.

       Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provision of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

       The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
harbor" for forward-looking statements.  The Press Release included in this
Form 6-K contains certain forward looking statements and forecasts reflecting
management's current views with respect to certain future events.  The ability
of the Telecom Italia Group to achieve its projected results is dependent on
many factors which are outside of management's control.  Actual results may
differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking
statements.  Such forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties
that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key
assumptions.

       The following important factors could cause the Telecom Italia Group's
actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any
forward-looking statements:

     - the continuing impact of increased competition in a liberalized market,
including competition from global and regional alliances formed by other
telecommunications operators in the core domestic fixed-line and wireless
markets of the Telecom Italia Group;

     - the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to introduce new services to
stimulate increased usage to its fixed and wireless networks to offset declines
in its traditional fixed-line business due to the continuing impact of
regulatory required price reductions, market share loss and pricing pressures
generally and shifts in usage pattern;

     - the level of demand for telecommunications services, particularly
wireless telecommunication services in the maturing Italian market and for new
higher value added products and services such as broadband;

     - the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to successfully implement its
reorganization;

     - the success of Telecom Italia's customer loyalty and retention programs
and the impact of such programs on revenues;

     - the impact of regulatory decisions and changes in the regulatory
environment, including implementation of recently adopted EU directives in
Italy;

     - the impact of economic development generally on the international
business of the Telecom Italia Group and on its foreign investments and capital
expenditures;

     -  the continuing impact of rapid or "disruptive" changes in technologies;

     - the impact of political and economic developments in Italy and other
countries in which the Telecom Italia Group operates;

     - the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates;

     - Telecom Italia's ability to successfully implement its strategy over the
2008-2010 period;

     - the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to successfully achieve its debt
reduction targets;

     - Telecom Italia's ability to successfully implement its internet and
broadband strategy;

     - the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to achieve the expected return on
the significant investments and capital expenditures it has made and continues
to make in Brazil and in Europe on broadband;

     - the amount and timing of any future impairment charges for Telecom
Italia's licences, goodwill or other assets; and

     - the impact of litigation or decreased mobile communications usage arising
from actual or perceived health risks or other problems relating to mobile
handsets or transmission masts.

       The foregoing factors should not construed as exhaustive.  Such factors
should also be considered together with risk factors included in Telecom Italia
Group's Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2005.  Due to such uncertainties and
risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that the Group will achieve its projected results.
