High-broadband internet connections for schools

The SWISS WORLD ATLAS interactive was tested for the first time in a geography lesson at a secondary school. This test showed up that the limited broadband connection at schools could lead to performance losses, especially when a lot of students access a map at the same time. An improvement could be achieved by the Swisscom initiative "Internet for schools". Within this initiative, Swisscom is sponsoring high-broadband internet connections. Schools can now submit sponsorship applications to the relevant cantonal authorities.
