Summary of the answers of Switzerland
BoR (11) 06b
In Switzerland 81% of the households can be connected by VDSL and 87% by cable. Only a
few thousand households are currently connected via fibre. In several cities the utility
companies and Swisscom (incumbent operator) deploy FTTH. Most cities will provide
wholesale offers over FTTH on a voluntary basis. Wholesale access with regard to broadband
service provision is mandated only for copper bitstream (only local access), the unbundled
cooper line and ducts. Other transmission media such as coax and fibre in the access network
are not subject to regulation by law.
