Swisscom is appealing the fiber optic dispute with the Federal Competition Commission (Weko).
The competition watchdog’s order is being taken to the Federal Administrative Court, it says in a statement.
Because the Comco’s justifications are incomprehensible.
The antitrust watchdogs imposed a fine of 18.4 million francs on Swisscom a week ago because they consider the changed design of the fiber optic network to be anti-competitive. Swisscom had changed the network architecture to just one line from the telephone exchange to the street shaft. However, ComCo is insisting on an expansion with a supply line for every household.

By the end of 2025, fiber optic coverage is expected to increase from the current 47 percent to 57 percent and by the end of 2030 to 75-80 percent. By then, the latest network technologies such as fiber optics and 5G mobile communications should be available in almost all communities. At the same time, Swisscom will gradually decommission the approximately 150-year-old copper network wherever fiber optics are available over the next few years.
