Thank you!
That makes a lot of sense now! I was there 3 years ago and I remember we could roam on an italian network, I didn't notice it was only TIM and no Wind or Vodafone...

That makes also sense because I just read this blog (http://www.andreatrapani.com/2006/08...arino-telecom/) and I didn't quite understand what he was talking about until you clarified that TSM is renting network from TIM and now they've got clearance to build their own network. The blog sais they are going to need 17 base stations to cover the entire republic!

It's good that the sammarinese get TIM service without VAT!
I do suppose now that they have their own network and won't depend on TIM anymore, they will offer better roaming prices for visiting vodafone and Wind customers also.
But I do think it's stupid to pay high roaming tariffs for an italian visiting san marino...
