Swisscom to Continue with its Mobile TV Network Plans

At the end of September 2007 and following a criteria-based competition, the Federal Communications Commission (ComCom) awarded Swisscom the licence to set up digital mobile TV in Switzerland based on the DVB-H standard. The two partners previously involved in the project - Sunrise and Orange - withdrew from the joint project at short notice. Swisscom still believes that there is growing customer demand for digital quality mobile TV and is continuing with its plan to provide customers with attractive offerings in time for the European Football Championships. Through this commitment Swisscom is underscoring its clear leading role as an innovator in the telecommunications sector and is prepared to take on the investment risks necessary for this.
