The Swiss Confederation owns 51.0 percent of Swisscom AG.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://report.swisscom.ch/en/annual-report/management-commentary/strategy-organisation-and-environment/group-structure-and-organisation )〕 As of the end of 2014, Swisscom had around 21,000 employees and generated revenues of approximately CHF 12 billions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.swisscom.ch/content/dam/swisscom/en/about/company/profile/documents/swisscom-fact-sheet-summary-2015.pdf.res/swisscom-fact-sheet-summary-2015.pdf )〕 Swisscom was ranked 20th in the recent list of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://theogm.com/2012/08/15/the-global-100-most-sustainable-corporations-in-the-world/ )〕 ==History== The first telegraph service was started between St. Gallen and Zurich in 1852 and was the start of telecommunications in Switzerland. Twenty years after the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, the telephone had been introduced in all Swiss cantons (1896). The first semi-automatic telephone switchboard was set up in Zurich-Hottingen in 1917. Switzerland had 500,000 telephone subscribers in 1948 and 1 million subscribers by 1959. That year, the Swiss telephone network became the first fully automated network in the world. In 1962, Telstar – the first telecommunications satellite – was launched into space. At Expo 1964 in Lausanne, the first exchange to permit international direct dialing was unveiled. In 1974, twelve years after Telstar, the Leuk satellite earth station was set up in the canton of Wallis. A year later, a mobile telephone network service for vehicles (NATEL = “NAtionales autoTELefonnetz” in German or national car phone network) was introduced. In 1985, the first fibre-optic cable was laid between Berne and Neuchâtel. The former state-owned PTT (Post, Telegraph, Telephone, founded 1852) was privatized in stages from 1988 onwards and became a public limited company with special legal status in October 1998.〔 The Swiss Confederation currently holds 51.0% of the share capital.〔 The Telecommunications Enterprise Act limits outside participation to 49.9% of the share capital. In its 5 April 2006 message, the Federal Council proposed to Parliament that Swisscom should be completely privatized and that the Swiss Confederation should sell its shares in stages. On 10 May 2006, the National Council declined to support the proposal. On 20 May 2006 the Advisory Committee of the Council of States advised the Council of States to endorse the proposal – but only so that it could be referred back to the Federal Council for revision. Swisscom announced its new visual identity on 14 December 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.swisscom.ch/content/dam/swisscom/en/about/company/history/documents/markengeschichte.pdf.res/markengeschichte.pdf )〕 The previous sub-brands of Swisscom Fixnet, Swisscom Mobile and Swisscom Solutions ceased to exist on 1 January 2008. On 23 July 2013 the CEO of Swisscom, Carsten Schloter was found dead from apparent suicide and Urs Schaeppi was appointed interim CEO. Since November 2013, Schaeppi has been the CEO of Swisscom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swisscom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
