4 Dec 2023 Swisscom (Schweiz) AGWEKO: CHF 18.4 million against Swisscom over fibre network roll-out strategy €19.4m
Swisscom expanded its fibre-optic network in such a way that competitors were not given Layer 1 access from the local exchanges. WEKO considered this to be an abuse of a dominant position, imposed a sanction of CHF 18,362,014, required Swisscom to retrofit the network and imposed procedural costs of CHF 927,307.
Dominant network operators must assess infrastructure decisions for their consequences for competitors' access.

1 May 2024 Xplain AG; Bundesamt für Polizei (fedpol); Bundesamt für Zoll und Grenzsicherheit (BAZG)FDPIC: data protection infringements at Xplain, fedpol and FOCBS after ransomware attack Other
Following the hacker attack on the IT service provider Xplain, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (Eidgenössischer Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragter, EDÖB) found that personal data of the Federal Office of Police (fedpol) and the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG) had reached Xplain via support processes without the necessary data protection safeguards. Xplain subsequently retained the data in breach of data protection law and partly in breach of contract.
Real data does not belong in service providers' support and test environments – clients must control disclosure and deletion.
