Switzerland Has an Advanced Telecom Market With One of the Highest Broadband Penetration Rates in the OECD

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ebe0d4/switzerland_key)
has announced the addition of the "Switzerland - Key Statistics
Telecom Market & Regulatory Overviews" report to their offering.

   The country's mountainous topography helped to establish a number
of cable networks, though in recent years DSL has become the preferred
means of broadband access. Although not a member of the EU, the
country's economic integration has meant that its telecom market
deregulation has followed the EU's liberalisation framework. This
report presents a statistical profile of Switzerland's fixed network
in 2008. It also assesses the regulatory environment, noting the
status of local loop unbundling, legislated in April 2007, and the
provision of broadband as a Universal Service. It evaluates the
strategies and performance of major service providers, and looks ahead
to market developments in coming years.
