Wind Tre S.p.A.^[2] is an Italian telecommunications company which offers integrated mobile, fixed telephony and Internet services.

VimpelCom sold its 50% stake in Wind Tre to Hutchison for €2.45 billion in 2018.^[3]

Wind Tre has 27.1 million mobile customers with a market share of 30.8% (placing itself ahead TIM, Vodafone and Iliad) and 2.7 million customers on fixed lines with a market share of 13.2% (that makes it the second largest fixed line operator, behind TIM).^[4]
