It takes its name from a 2,000-year-old nuragic village hidden in the centre of Sardinia. Initially established as a regional telephone operator and Internet Service Provider (ISP), Tiscali rapidly expanded its operations throughout Italy, differentiating itself from its competitors with innovative services and marketing strategies. March 1999: Tiscali launched the first free Internet access service, giving a new and significant boost to the growth of the whole market. October 1999: The company was floated on the Italian Nuovo Mercato, raising the capital needed to finance its project to become a pan-European player. 2000 to 2003: Tiscali embarked on an expansion plan through a series of mergers and acquisitions of major existing Internet companies. The Group began its pan-European consolidation of the major independent European ISPs, including World Online International, the Dutch ISP with a very large footprint in Europe, and Liberty Surf, the ISP leader in France. This, in combination with the merger of more than twenty companies, brought Tiscali to a consolidation of its position in 15 European countries and South Africa. 2004: Following the rapid evolution of the internet market, Tiscali developed an in-focus country concentration. The disposal of non core assets of the group led the company to have operations in the main European markets, allowing financial and managerial resources allocation, and being among the top three ISPs in the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and UK.
