The activity of supplying electronic communications networks or services is subject to a general authorization pursuant to articles 25-26 of the Legislative Decree 1 August 2003 n. 259 and subsequent amendments (so-called “Electronic Communications Code”).

The company interested in carrying out this activity submits to the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) a declaration containing the intention to begin the supply of electronic communications networks or services and is authorized to begin its activity as of the submission of the declaration , which constitutes a notification of commencement of activity. The Ministry, no later than sixty days from the submission of the declaration, automatically verifies the existence of the conditions and requirements required and imposes, if necessary, a ban on the continuation of the activity.

Subsequently, companies authorized by the MISE have the right to provide electronic communications networks and services to the public and to request specific authorizations from the municipal Suap, or submit the necessary declarations, to exercise the right to install infrastructures.

The individual procedural cases are defined by the articles. 44 et seq. of Legislative Decree 207/2021 (ex articles 87 et seq. of Legislative Decree 259/2003) on the basis of the characteristics of the systems and/or the type of variations by which they are affected (power, possible presence of pre-existing infrastructures, dimensions of the radiant systems).

Depending on whether these characteristics occur or not, the current legislation provides for the possibility of the procedure being subject to differently regulated cases, for which, for example, for the installation of infrastructures with a power exceeding 20 watts it will be necessary to submit an application and the release by SUAP of an authorization provision within 60 days of the start of the procedure.

Over the last few years, the legislator has paid particular attention to interventions aimed at the development of broadband, providing for specific simplifying procedures (see art. 45 of the aforementioned Legislative Decree 207/2021 ex 87 bis Legislative Decree 259/2003).

It should be noted that the works must be carried out, under penalty of forfeiture, within twelve months of the issuing of the single authorization provision, or from the formation of the silent consent.

install and/or modify electronic communications infrastructures, it is necessary to submit the single application for authorisation/SCIA, accompanied by the files consisting of:

• documentation to demonstrate compliance with exposure limits, attention values ​​and quality objectives relating to electromagnetic emissions;
• architectural project, if necessary, possibly accompanied by adequate photographic documentation (state of fact and/or photo simulations).

The practices must be presented to the SUAP of the Municipality of Milan, exclusively electronically to the SUAP (One Stop Shop for Productive Activities) of the Municipality of Milan, via the national platform Impresainungiorno.gov.it. The use of the platform is binding, under penalty of non-processing of the procedures; in fact, alternative methods of presentation will not be accepted, not even via PEC.

The platform provides an assisted procedure, which is developed through the guided compilation of an application/report "scheme" which will form, on the basis of the information provided, the electronic form intended to trigger the administrative procedure.

For practices subject to constraints of an environmental, architectural or archaeological nature, it will be necessary to attach to them (using the function called "Free Attachments") a copy of the authorization/application for authorization previously obtained/requested from the competent body or office. In the case, for example, of a request for landscape authorization, the company will contact the competent Landscape Protection Office directly (https://www.comune.milano.it/aree-tematiche/edilizia/commissione-per-il-paesaggio); once your request has been registered, you will complete and send your application to our SUAP, via the IIUG platform, attaching the file containing the copy of the landscape authorization request registered with the SUE (the flow just described is adopted in the future of the future, expected integration between the SUAP/SUE operating systems, capable of allowing the telematization of all phases of the procedure).

Applications for authorization are considered accepted if, within sixty days of submission, a denial has not been communicated.

The release of the express authorization pursuant to art. 44 of Legislative Decree no. 207/2021 will always take place electronically, via transmission from the platform Impresainungiorno.gov.it to the PEC electronic domiciliation box indicated by the company.
