Elsacom

Elsacom is a defunct mobile network operator that previously provided services in Italy. Operating within the European nation, Italy, Elsacom's presence was defined by its assigned Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 02 under the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 222. MCC 222 signifies Italy within the global mobile network identification system, with the MNC further pinpointing Elsacom as a specific operator. While other prominent mobile networks continue to serve the Italian populace today, Elsacom's legacy remains part of the history of Italian telecommunications as Italy moved and continues to move and evolve around mobile technologies. Although Elsacom is no longer operational, its historical role is significant within the context of understanding the evolution of the Italian mobile market. Its existence alongside networks such as TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) and Vodafone Italia at one time represented a competitive landscape. The MCC/MNC combination of 222-02 provides a unique identifier for tracing network services in Italy, and the demise of networks like Elsacom highlights the dynamic nature of the mobile telecommunications industry within Europe reflecting both past and future changes. A historical analysis of former mobile networks and their respective MCC and MNC assignments provides insightful understanding of the landscape.
