Italy fined Telecom Italia (TIM) €9.5 million after it was found that unauthorized call centers used spoofed calls to generate fake consumer consents via TIM's partner webpage, violating GDPR provisions and demonstrating that compliance with Italy's Telemarketing Code of Conduct does not absolve oversight responsibilities.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Call centre operators who shield behind compliance codes will find no refuge in Italy. You must overhaul partner oversight or lose market access to tough GDPR enforcement.
