Swiss Economics was commissioned to assess the economic implications of the proposed revision of the Ordinance on the Surveillance of Post and Telecommunications (SPTO). The study analyses how the proposed changes affect Switzerland’s position as a location for digital trust–based business models. Using stakeholder interviews, firm-level cost estimates, and quantitative projections, the analysis evaluates both sector-specific and economy-wide effects.
