Activities
The Law on Telecommunications (LTC), which entered into force January 1st 1998, liberalises the Swiss telecommunications market and charges OFCOM with the realisation of the telecommunications statistics.
At its creation in 1992, OFCOM was assigned two major tasks: to regulate the radio and television sectors, and to establish the conditions needed to open up the telecommunications market. Today OFCOM oversees radio and television, radiocommunications, and telecommunications services and telecommunications installations. It enables efficient competition to take place and guarantees that market forces will have full play.
