Till KleisliFalls jemand noch einen neuen Internetprivider sucht, #init7 kann ich nicht nur deswegen sehr empfehlen. đ

Alex SchroederTo get the Init7 perspective of the whole fibre to the home (FTTH) development in Switzerland, here's their blog post (or newsletter archive or whatever): Switzerlandâs âFiber Optic Disputeâ.

I never bothered to wonder why my sister in Germany has lousy Internet where as I declined to upgrade my 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s because we don't need it.
"You may have heard about 25 Gbit symmetrical internet in Switzerland. This is often cited as the fastest dedicated (non-shared) residential connection in the world. However, did you ever wonder why Switzerland has such fast internet at a reasonable price ⊠?" -- The Free Market Lie: Why Switzerland Has 25 Gbit Internet and America Doesn't
The answer is that in Switzerland, fibre is treated as infrastructure -- like water, like electricity. That is to say, the providers don't put down their own cables. One company puts down the cables and then all the providers get access to it. End users get to pick the provider they want.
Interestingly, the article then goes on to say that the regulation leading to this was spearheaded by Swisscom in 2008 who tried to change course in 2020. Init7, one of the providers, took Swisscom to court. In 2024, the case had gone through all the layers and Init7 won. The old regulation stayed in place.
Incidentally, one of the reasons I'm a happy #Init7 customer.

Was alles passiert, im #schweizer #internet:
Netzsperren, mögliche politische Zensur und das draufhauen auf einen kleineren Internetprovider.

luz#init7 bei Cory Doctorow đ - âSwitzerlandâs Goldilocks fiberâ - beide Artikel lesenswert, auch die Quelle (Stefan SchĂŒller). Dasselbe wĂŒrde fĂŒr Mobilfunknetze gelten, aber das hat leider auch die Schweiz nicht geschafft.

Johannes Leutenegger đ€Auch ich habe vor Netzsperren wegen des auch in anderen Bereichen katastrophalen Geldspielgesetzes gewarnt. Jetzt werden Netzsperren schon fĂŒr politische #Zensur eingesetzt.
Martin ZieglerWenn CH Gerichte Webseiten via DNS sperren wollen & grosse CH Internetprovider das einfach umsetzen, dann ist das die falsche Richtung.
Danke an #Init7, dass ihr euch wert.

The economics of the telecommunications industry
Competition, regulation and returns: how does the telecommunications industry really work? Why âthe market regulates everythingâ only applies to a limited extent in the telecommunications market, how the historical advantages of the former monopolist Swisscom continue to have an impact today, and why genuine competition cannot function without clear rules.
