Legal basis for unbundling the local loop
Biel-Bienne, 12.11.2003 - The Federal Council intends to place unbundling of the local loop in telecommunications, which was decided on in February this year, on a solid political basis. It has adopted a corresponding message on amendments to the Law on Telecommunications (LTC) and submitted it to parliament. The amendments give Swisscom's competitors direct access to households. In addition, instruments which ensure effective competition will be strengthened and consumer protection and the protection of personal data will be improved.
