Switzerland Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Digital Media Statistics and Analyses 2017 - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Switzerland - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Digital Media - Statistics and Analyses" report to their offering.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of trends and developments in Switzerland's telecommunications market. The report analyses the mobile, internet, broadband, digital TV and converging media sectors.

The mobile market has undergone a number of changes in recent years, with the operator Salt (formerly Orange (News - Alert) Switzerland) having been acquired by NJJ Capital in February 2015, and with Sunrise having been acquired by a private equity firm, CVC Capital Partners.
