The majority of more or less developed countries follow the scheme of liberalization and deregulation necessary for providing their telecom markets' steady development. Swiss government was among progressive ones, making it possible for industry to flourish. At first, the market was ruled by a state-owned monopoly Swiss Telecom, which lost its unique position when the market was liberalized in 1998, and was rebranded to Swisscom. For the present moment Swisscom is a leading player in fixed-line telephony, as well as broadband and mobile sectors. Its major share still belongs to the government, which prevents the company from becoming international. However, at home Swisscom boasts high profitability. This in part is due to triopoly established in Swiss mobile market, which provides limited competition and makes the prices higher. The average revenue per user in Switzerland has so far been EUR50, which is almost double from average across Europe. Due to this fact the take-over of 3G standard plans has been at a surprisingly slow pace in the country, while the rest of contemporary technologies tend to attract customers' attention rapidly. However, the 3G technology distribution is promoted by the government, which has recently released GSM frequencies to be implemented for 3G. HSDPA has also seen a major boost in the industry, due to the fact that with market maturity operators are eager to motivate subscribers for data service usage. The total number of subscribers in the mobile sector is close to 9 million.

Major forces in the mobile communications industry are distributed among three international players. Swisscom is at the first place accounting for more than a half of total market share (63%). The second place is occupied by Orange, which now boasts 18% of market share, with nearly the same value belonging to its close competitor Sunrise. Due to this reason the last one will likely acquire the second position in the following years, taking its position over Swisscom and Orange. Digital television is one more popular tendency which is characterized by steady development. In several country regions analogue services were even brought to a close. Broadband penetration is one of the highest in Europe, with both DSL and cable technologies in hand. Recently cable access has been the major way to connect to the Internet in Switzerland, but DSL has also gained forces and now competes for subscriber attention. Swisscom is the leader, with Cablecom competing it fiercely. The latter is going to introduce a 100Mpbs plan, which would increase its profitability. Wireless Internet connection is also implemented as an alternative to fixed-line access.
