Switzerland in contrary has pretty high prices compared to other EU and smaller countries. So the competition between the carriers is also an important factor.

Switzerland in contrary has pretty high prices compared to other EU and smaller countries. So the competition between the carriers is also an important factor. We have 3 big carriers here and one is in big amounts owned by the government.
I pay additional 16 bucks to get 500 MB (!!!) data for my plan...that's pretty high although we're a small country
- Samuel_Michon 16y agoSwitzerland is the same size of The Netherlands (16,000 sq miles), but the two differ in some important ways: Switzerland is very mountainous while The Netherlands are completely flat, and there's only 8 million people living in Switzerland versus 17 million in The Netherlands. So it doesn't surprise me that Switzerland has higher rates -- there are less customers per square mile, and I can imagine it being a bit harder to put up a cell tower on a mountain slope than in a meadow.
