Piano di Sorrento faces prolonged digital blackout

Residents and businesses in Piano di Sorrento are facing a prolonged digital blackout that has lasted for days, and in some neighborhoods, for weeks. The connectivity failure has severely disrupted local commerce, rendering point-of-sale (POS) terminals inoperable, interrupting tourist bookings, and stalling professional communications. Even SIAE services have been affected during the peak summer season.

Unlike neighboring municipalities in the Amalfi Coast, where businesses quickly initiated legal actions and collective lawsuits to seek damages, the community in Piano di Sorrento has largely responded with passive resignation. Local economic actors have instead relied on unofficial information from social media groups rather than pursuing formal institutional or legal channels to demand the restoration of this essential infrastructure.
