Swiss Watchdog Probes Swisscom’s Fibre Optics

Switzerland’s competition commission (COMCO) has opened an investigation into telecom provider Swisscom, ordering immediate precautionary measures to allow competitors access to networks during its fiber-optic expansion.

COMCO on Thursday, December 17, stated that Swisscom’s expansion risked excluding other participants from the market that could amount to misuse of its market-leading position.
