Swisscom wins court ruling overturning antitrust finding over fiber rollout architecture

Swisscom won a Swiss federal administrative court challenge over its fiber rollout design, overturning a competition regulator finding of abuse. The court ruled the point-to-multipoint build did not breach competition law, citing no dominant position in the defined market. The decision counters a December 2023 competition authority order that imposed CHF 18 million in penalties. New fiber connections are still being built using point-to-point architecture required under the regulator’s interim measures.
