Swisscom sees strong TV growth

Swisscom had 694,000 IPTV customers at the end of June, up 35.5% year-on-year. Swisscom added 86,000 TV customers in the first half of the year.

Swisscom said demand remained high for its bundled offerings Vivo Casa and Vivo Tutto, which includes mobile telephony. The company nevertheless saw a decline in its fixed access base in the first half, with fixed lines falling by 62,000 to 3.06 million, thanks in part to migration to cable networks and growth in unbundled access lines.
