Okay,
FTTH scheint weiter im Westen in Bewegung zu kommen.
Es scheint, als ob die Schweiz gerade drauf und dran ist
(nach Kanada) carrier-neutrales FTTH auf den weg zu bringen..
Was meint Ihr dazu ? Warum ist das in Österreich nicht möglich ??
Ciao,

Over the next six years, Swisscom is planning to invest some CHF 8 billion
in the Swiss telecommunications and IT infrastructure, with 35% of this sum earmarked for fibre-optic expansion.
To enable potential cooperation partners to expand their own fibre-optic
infrastructure after the construction work has started, Swisscom will be
laying several fibres per household in all areas. One fibre will be used by
Swisscom, while the others will be made available to the cooperation
partners. The multi-fibre model will prevent the creation of a new network
monopoly in Switzerland and also meet competitors' requirements for full
access to the local loop.
At the end of July, Swisscom invited potential cooperation partners from the telecommunications, cable, and utilities industries to work with it on
building the fibre-optic network, with the aim of implementing the network
more quickly and cost-effectively in conjunction with several partners.
Moreover, this collaboration will generate competition among different types of networks, boosting investment and innovation and maximising the benefits for customers and home owners, says the carrier.
While laying several fibres per household entails marginally higher
investments, it guarantees competition at the technology and service levels. Limiting fibres to one per household would be impractical, says the carrier, since it would endanger the dynamic nature of the market and the
technological innovativeness of the telecommunications industry over the
next 30 to 50 years.
