Business Overview
Swisscom’s financial reporting is based on the three operating divisions: Swisscom Switzerland, Fastweb and Other operating segments.
Swisscom Switzerland
The Residential Customers, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Corporate Business and Wholesale divisions, as well as the Network & IT division, are reported separately under segment reporting.

The Residential Customers segment is the contact partner for mobile and fixed-line customers. It provides Switzerland with broadband access lines, serves a growing number of Swisscom TV subscribers and operates Switzerland’s most frequently visited Internet portal www.bluewin.ch. The Residential Customers segment offers telephone, Internet and TV services – all from a single source – and is also responsible for handset sales and directories business.
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
The Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises segment offers a comprehensive range of products and services – from fixed-line and mobile telephony to Internet and data services to IT infrastructure maintenance and operation. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises receive bespoke integrated solutions: suitable connections, secure access, professional services and intelligent networks.
Corporate Business

Wholesale
The Wholesale segment provides various services for other telecommunications providers, such as regulated access to the “last mile” as well as commercial voice, data and broadband products. The Wholesale segment also covers roaming with foreign providers.
Network & IT
The Network & IT segment builds, operates and maintains Swisscom’s countrywide fixed network and mobile communications infrastructure. It is also responsible for the associated IT platforms, and is driving forward migration of the networks to an integrated IT and IP-based platform (All IP).
