It's not just the city of Zürich, Adliswil has it too, at the very least.
I believe Init7 leases fibre from Swisscom in other locations. My understanding is that federal law requires Swisscom to give access to its infrastructure to other companies for a fair price.
- bauruine 5y agoYes Swisscom has to lease it's infrastructure to every ISP the product is called BBCS [0] [0] https://www.swisscom.ch/en/business/wholesale/angebot/anschluesse/BBCS.html https://www.swisscom.ch/en/business/wholesale/angebot/anschl...
- samstave 5y agoGee... wouldnt it be cool if the USA paid telecoms $400,000,000,000 to build out said infra? Oh wait..

- djdjfhsje33edh 5y agoWriting out all of the zeros in $400 billion doesn't make your point any more compelling.
- samstave 5y agoThats because my point is compelling enough
- occamrazor 5y agoMoreover almost all local power companies (e.g. ewz in Zurich) have laid fiber cables and lease them to ISPs. Most of them don’t even sell internet access directly, therefore they don’t have the same conflict of interest that Swisscom has.
