Swisscom signs cooperation deal on fibre in Haut-Valais

Swisscom and Danet Oberwallis have signed an agreement to cooperate in the development and commercialisation of fibre networks in the Haut-Valais region of Switzerland. 

The two companies will have access to the network in the future and will be able to provide access to alternative service providers such as Valaiscom, enabling consumers in the region to choose their provider of TV, internet and phone services.

The pair will invest about CHF40 million (€32 million) in the first phase of network deployment between now and 2015.
