MILAN (Reuters) – Italy’s cabinet undersecretary Alessio Butti said on Wednesday that the government has no plans to launch a 100% bid on Telecom Italia (TIM).

“A take over bid for the whole of TIM is fantasy”, Butti said at business event in Rome.

Asked for clarification, Butti reiterated that the government’s goal is securing public control of TIM’s fixed line network, adding that it still needs to define how to do it.
