Fredy,
Congratulations with such an amazing win!
This might just provide the possibility of smaller ISPs to actually have an honest competition to the big established market monopolies. The future will tell what this will change.
That this took 7 years though, could have been a killer for a small company. Fortunately they granted the preliminary solution earlier, otherwise it would likely have been impossible to compete in anyway and you would have been pushed out of the market.
Thanks for fighting the good fight! Very much appreciated.
Regards, Jeroen

Bundesverwaltungsgericht BVGER (Tribunal administrativ federal) decides as the court of last resort in the IP interconnection (peering) case pro Init7 and pro open and discrimination free internet.
The cartel of Deutsche Telecom and Swisscom until January 2016 has been sanctioned. ComCom needs to decide about a price for cost oriented peering.

We are very happy that this case is now over. It took seven years, it all started 2012 when Swisscom tried to make us pay for peering.
Besides, as ComCom is going to decide about IP peering, we believe the court order will have an impact the peering landscape beyond Switzerland.
