Research and Markets: Switzerland - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts - 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f376a2/switzerland_broa) has announced the addition of the "Switzerland - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

Switzerland has one of Europe's highest Internet and broadband penetration rates in Europe, benefiting from excellent and effectively competitive cable and DSL platforms. DSL has overtaken cable as is the principal access technology, and the market is dominated by Swisscom's retail offerings. UPC also offers cable broadband in most cities and towns, and its extension of 100Mb/s services during 2010 has spurred Swisscom to intensify its VDSL network rollout as well as invest more fulsomely in its national fibre network in a bid to remain competitive. To this end, Swisscom has set aside for fibre networks a significant proportion of its planned CHF8 billion infrastructure investment to 2015. Much of this has been facilitated by cooperative deals struck with regional utility companies.

In this report we present an analysis of Switzerland's broadband market in 2011. The report profiles the main players in the DSL, cable, fibre and wireless sectors, detailing technological developments for the provision of triple-play services and providing broadband forecasts to 2020. We also examine regulatory issues surrounding municipal fibre, legislation providing for local loop unbundling, and the provision of broadband as a universal service.
