Chris,

T-DSL would be lovely, but I am sure that it is not as simple as that, even if
the geography permits it--there are licensing requirements, and the Swiss
regulators seem to be squarely on Swisscom's side when it comes to local loop
competition. Remember that Switzerland is not in the EU and hence not obliged to
liberalise its telecoms market unless it wants to. I live on the lakeside road,
and because all the houses on our street are connected with in-the-air telephone
lines we cannot get DSL--Swisscom says that only underground wires can be
sufficiently shielded. And we have no cable TV either on our street. So ISDN is
the best I can do.
