Broadband in the universal service

Biel-Bienne, 13.9.2006 - The Federal Council is adapting the content of the universal service in order to take account of changing social and economic requirements. From 1 January 2008, the entire population will be able to have broadband access. Other changes have been made regarding content and upper price limits. This lays the foundation for the Communications Commission to launch a public invitation to tender for the next universal service licence.
