Switzerland pushes ahead with major telecom law reform

Following a public consultation that received 151 responses, the Council said it asked the federal communications department to develop the new legislation by September 2016.

At the same time, the government wants to reduce the administrative burden for telecom providers, relax the rules on spectrum usage and improve access to buildings for network infrastructure.
