Transport and Telecom Commission President Salvatore Sasso Deidda Hosts Video Conference

Salvatore Sasso Deidda, president of the Transport and Telecommunications Commission, convened a videoconference on August 6, 2026, to address systemic telephone service failures across Sardinia. The meeting was organized following a formal request from local mayors to establish shared solutions for persistent connectivity outages in the region.

The session focused on coordinating a response to widespread “disservizi telefonici,” or telephone service disruptions, which have impacted communication infrastructure throughout the island. According to the meeting’s agenda, the objective is to align the efforts of regional authorities and telecommunications providers to resolve the technical instabilities affecting residents and local administrations.

The initiative was triggered by urgent solicitations from municipal leaders who reported that the lack of reliable phone and data services hindered local governance and public safety. Sasso Deidda led the discussions to identify specific areas of failure and to determine whether the issues stem from aging infrastructure or provider-side technical malfunctions.

Regional officials are seeking a unified strategy to ensure that telecommunications companies adhere to service level agreements. The Commission’s goal is to move beyond isolated complaints and create a centralized reporting and resolution mechanism that can be scaled across different Sardinian provinces.

The videoconference serves as a preliminary step in a broader effort to audit the digital divide in Sardinia. By bringing together the Transport and Telecommunications Commission and municipal representatives, the regional government aims to pressure service providers for immediate repairs and long-term infrastructure upgrades.
