Profile note
Italy's telco-sovereign play: FastwebAI Suite is billed as the first Italian telco sovereign GenAI platform for businesses and public administration, running on Fastweb's own NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. Important licensing caveat — despite being on HuggingFace, FastwebMIIA-7B is NOT open source: its licence bans commercial use, resale and use as training data for other models. Note the ownership chain runs to Swisscom (Switzerland/EFTA), not an EU parent.
