Switzerland 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.
