This rumoured announcement seems unique to Germany at the moment, so it's even more speculative to speak about how this will affect the iPhone's deployment across Europe.
Nevertheless, if it turns out it DOES have Euro-wide implications, T-Mobile is in a roaming alliance with Telecom Italia Mobile... so you'd likely end up seeing TIM land the iPhone there.
And, to settle your little spat: Italy has Europe's 2nd largest number of mobile phone lines, after #1... Germany. You might have been thinking about number of lines per capita, as Italy is the leader there with _substantially_ more phones than people. http://www.cellular-news.com/story/24410.php
