The Internet in Switzerland has one of the highest penetration rates in Europe.

Summary.

Internet users: 6.8 million, 49th in the world; 85.2% of the population, 19th in the world (2012).

An optical fiber or optical fibre is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair.

Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than wire cables.

Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with lesser amounts of loss; in addition, fibers are also immune to electromagnetic interference, a problem from which metal wires suffer excessively.

Fibers are also used for illumination, and are wrapped in bundles so that they may be used to carry images, thus allowing viewing in confined spaces, as in the case of a fiberscope.

Specially designed fibers are also used for a variety of other applications, some of them being fiber optic sensors and fiber lasers.

Internet access is the process that enables individuals and organisations to connect to the Internet using computer terminals, computers, mobile devices, sometimes via computer networks.

Once connected to the Internet, users can access Internet services, such as email and the World Wide Web.

Internet service providers (ISPs) offer Internet access through various technologies that offer a wide range of data signaling rates (speeds).

The mail or post is a system for physically transporting documents and other small ; or, the postcards, letters, and parcels themselves.

A postal service can be private or public, though many governments place restrictions on private systems.

Since the mid-19th century national postal systems have generally been established as government monopolies with a fee on the article prepaid.

Proof of payment is often in the form of adhesive postage stamps, but postage meters are also used for bulk mailing.

Modern private postal systems are typically distinguished from national postal agencies by the names "courier" or "delivery service".
