Federal Council to draw up Swisscom's strategic goals for 2006-2009 (CORRECTED VERSION)
Bern, 2.12.2005 - In view of the decisions of principle taken on 23 November, the Federal Council will draw up Swisscom's strategic goals for 2006-2009 by the end of the year. Until the definitive adoption of the new strategic goals, the applicable interpretation of the overseas strategy is that the company is not entitled to acquire stakes in telecommunications companies with a public service function (fixed network and/or mobile network). Against this backdrop, Swisscom's board of directors provided assurances that no decisions concerning involvement in a foreign telecommunications company with a public service function would be taken before the entry into force of the strategic goals for 2006-2009.
