On 1 November 2023, the Federal Council opened a consultation on a draft amendment to the Ordinance of 9 March 2007 on Telecommunications Services (OTS) implementing Article 48a of the Telecommunications Act (TCA).
The bill to amend the OTS contains new provisions to improve the availability of mobile networks and services in the event of power supply disruptions. The new provisions describe the relevant types of power supply disruptions, specify which telecommunications services are to be provided in such a situation, as well as their geographical scope and duration of availability. They establish an obligation to report on the implementation of the measures and regulate a possible audit to monitor preparations.
The consultation on measures to render mobile networks more resilient to power supply disruptions ran from 1. November 2023 to 16. February 2024. 62 responses were received, 26 from the cantons, 3 from political parties represented in the federal assembly, 6 from national umbrella organisations and 27 from other interested circles.
