Federal Council adopts message on partial revision of the Telecommunications Act
Bern, 7.9.2017 - At its session on 6 September 2017, the Federal Council adopted the message concerning the partial revision of the Telecommunications Act (TCA). The draft legislation will now be dealt with by parliament. In recent years telecommunications has experienced extremely rapid development: new broadband networks are carrying more and more data at faster and faster speeds. Internet services such as videotelephony, messengers and chats are increasingly replacing traditional telecommunications services. The revised legislation should reflect this change.
